Actually, no. That was when the European War was two years and three
months old. The Japanese were kicking the crap out of the British in
Shanghai and other places, but, so far, there was no true world scope.

Oh stop flogging yourself and try to observe the difference between
the US from WW2 (and before) and the last 8 years.
Somehow "Right Or Wrong My Country" has to some deteriorated into
"Screw The World"
The so-caled Western Civilization is nothing but a faded, pale shadow
of it former moral self. Even up here, in good old passive Canada,
there are demonstrations because the clown, who is a Bush wannabe, has
hijacked the democracy.

Yep, no matter what has happened, it's always the fault of the US. Just
out of curiosity, how was the US at fault for Hitler's invasion of the
Sudetenland?

I thought that was the Clintons' fault.

Back when I was still sailing on the Great Lakes, would sail across
Lakes Erie & Huron to the southern and/or western shores of Ontario
visiting the little port towns there.
This was in the 70s & 80s and a visit to one of these towns was like
traveling in a time warp back to the 40s when I was growing up or so
it seemed.
Each of these little towns would have a park with a war memorial to
the fallen.
In some it would be to the participants of the war of 1812 when
Canada was still fighting with the British, which meant these were
enemies of then USA at that time.
Others were to the fallen of WWII, many of whom died before
12/07/1941.
As I stood there reading and counting the names, I began to understand
what a large percentage of the Canadian population had given their
lives in WWII.
To this day, standing in front of that memorial in Kincardine looking
at that memorial, lighted only by street lights, is still vivid in my
memory.
Canada is also where the Brits trained fighter pilots before
12/07/1941.
They have a plane on an elevated display to acknowledge the fact in
the first town west of the Welland canal whose name escapes me at the
moment.
(Crazy bunch of fun folks in that town)
Yes, I remember.

You mean like the Rape of Nanking?
Wrong side of the world, but the Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere was
Japan's version of Nazi Germany's lebensraum(sp?).
Japan was headed the way it went before FDR took office.

Yes, I remember it quite well. I was playing outside with a friend when my
mother came charging out the house. She yelled, "The Japs have attacked
Pearl Harbor".
The next day, the school broadcast Roosevelt's address to the Congress.
Things have never been quite the same since.
It did come to me quite later, that Roosevelt had backed the Japanese into a
corner and that perhaps he had goaded them into doing something.
