At first I had elaborated more and mentioned the pentagon and such, but ultimately decided to simply reference it, figuring people were aware enough of The Pentagon (and the CIA offices in the towers) that I need not have mentioned them. Good looking out, though.

Sure. Now that I think about it, linking 9/11, something almost too prevelant in our lives now, with the attacks on Pearl Harbor may do those who died in Pearl Harbor a disservice. I'd say, with confidence, that US military action following and as a response to Pearl Harbor was a lot more successful and legitimate than military action taken after 9/11. Up until the use of nuclear weapons, our Pacific front in WWII was a testimate to the brave and honorable people of our country. Even though I am very anti-war, I would have probably supported WWII had I been around back then (you know that says a lot if you know me).
To all those that risked or gave their lives for the safety of our country: I salute you. You were esponsible for our country being safe from danger, and you were a success in that mission.
