Day of Infamy

Posted at 8:43 in .

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

As I reported earlier this week, I finished reading Philip Roth's Plot Against America recently, the main premise of which was the Pearl Harbor attack never came and we never entered World War II. As sad as it to think of everything lost, it's sadder still to think of what might have been had that event not caused the U.S. to step up to plate at that moment in history.

This discussion has now closed. Thanks to all who participated.
