Pearl Harbor, and a Lesson - 2005 Edition
Today is Pearl Harbor Day.
This is the battleship U.S.S. Arizona in the 1930s:
And this is the U.S.S. Arizona and 1177 of her crew today:
It would behoove our enemies — actual and potential — to realize that when the United States went to war after an unprovoked attack in 1941, it ended in fire.
America has a long memory.

Good luck on those finals. Especially the History final - if you think we provoked the Japanese, you'll need all the luck you can get.

I hope that you don't think this is spam. I really do think that you'd appreciate a site like this since we share the same idealogy.
