In case you don't know it yet: Pearl Harbour was attacked by the Japaneze. They are the slightly smaller men with (mostly) slanted eyes and live on some islands across the Pacific Ocean to the West of you. Germans are the average caucasian types living in the middle of Europe, that is East of you across the Atlantic ocean. WWII was - concerning USA - a double war, one to the West with the Japanese and one in the east against Germany. I was talking about the war against the Germans which took place in Europe, the next continent you find if you start from the Eastcoast over the big water. Of course USA went to war against the Japanese right after their raid on Pearl Harbour. Any nation would have. Even those allegedly cowardice Germans. But concerning the so called European War the USA were really dragging their feet for a long time. There were too many US companies supporting Hitler and his industry (mainly rubber and chemicals). So the anti-war faction was heavily supported by those lobbyists of the industry. Read the documentations and the history books and learn how it really was. I assure you a very surprising story. wobo > -- > > /\ > Dark< >Lord > \/ > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -- -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
