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.
