Since you are acting extremely arrogant, severely distorting what I said, and
insisting on having the last word, I'll have to break my pledge not to respond
and spell it out for you.

Ian says:
"I was going to write a huge message detailing my excellent knowledege of Wordl
war II history, but I cannot argue against someone who accepts that war was not
declared, but insists there was a "declared" war."

Facts:
Sept 3, 1939 - Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declare war on
Germany.
Sept 10, 1939 - Canada declares war on Germany; Battle of the Atlantic begins
Although the US proclaimed neutrality, we were functionally allied with Britain,
et al as early as 1939.  (What do you think the battle of the Atlantic was
over?)  The US had not declared war on anyone, nor had anyone declared war on
us - as of the morning of Dec 7, 1941.  I have never said otherwise, in spite of
your constant distortions.  At the time of Pearl Harbor, WWII had been underway
and "declared" (between our allies England/Canada/etc. and Japan's ally Germany)
for over two years.  We were obviously aligned.  That is what I said in my
initial post - nothing more.  I never said that there was a formal declaration
of war between the US and Japan prior to Pearl Harbor.  That was your
distortion.

Ian says:
> I respectfully suggest you check on the history of World War II in the
Pacific.  There wasn't much fighting going on.  Lots of capitulation to Japanese
demands, some local resistance, but certainly no war.  I do agree we were
preparing for war with Japan long before Pearl Harbor."

OK.  That's fair  I'll double check...

Facts:
July 1937 - 2nd Sino-Japanese War breaks out
Dec 1937 - atrocities committed by Jananese during the occupation of Nanking
(See: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/nanking.html)
Mar. 31, 1939 - Yonai announces occupation of Hainan and Spratly Islands
Aug. 20, 1939 - Zhukov defeats Japan at Nomonhan on Mongolian border
May 16, 1940 - Sayre advised FDR that Japan wanted to "retire gracefully" from
burdensome China war
June 22, 1940 - Petain closed Indochina route to Chiang
Sept. 4, 1940 - Hull warned Konoye to stay out of Indochina
Sept. 22,1940 - Japanese troops crossed into Indochina; Vichy forced to agree
Sept. 27, 1940 - Tripartite Pact with Japan, Germany, Italy
Nov. 30, 1940 - FDR gave $100m loan to Chiang and 50 planes to Chennault's
secret group of U.S. volunteer airmen, the Flying Tigers, helping Chiang at
Chungking
Apr. 13, 1941 - Matsuoka signs Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact
May 9, 1941 - Japan-Thailand Treaty threatens Burma and Malay
July 25, 1941 - Japan announces Indochina protectorate
July 28, 1941 - Japan begins military occupation of bases to prepare for
invasions of Malay
July 30, 1941 - U.S. gunboat "Tutiula" damaged by Japan planes near Chungking
Aug. 20, 1941 - Col. William Farthing report emphasizes B-17 defense of Pearl
Sept. 3, 1941 - FDR rejects Konoye summit until major principles agreed on first
Sept. 4, 1941 - FDR closes Panama Canal to Japanese shipping
Oct. 15, 1941 - FDR tells Churchill: "Japan situation definitely worse. I think
they are headed north."
etc

The (partial list) above sure sounds a lot like "war" to me.  Can anyone
honestly read the reference above to the events in Nanking and say it was not
"war"?  There seem to have been a lot of such "local resistance" in China - and
elsewhere.  If the actions of Japan in China and Indochina between 1937 and Dec
7, 1941 do not constitute war, what exactly does?  Also, does eventual
"capitulation" to vastly superior military forces mean it was not war?  If so,
then was the "Gulf War" against Iraq not a "war"?  The question here is not even
about who is splitting hairs about the definition of war, as I was originally
going to suggest.  The history books seem to acknowledge this as "war".  It even
has a name - 'The Second Sino-Jananese War".  Perhaps everyone, except Ian of
course, is wrong though.

Ian says:

Clever answer!  Too bad it is entirely inapplicable.  I've heard the Lincoln

Will all due respect, you are dead wrong.  This isn't based on some movie, it is
based on historical fact.  WWII started in 1939, not December 1941.  A formal
declaration of war between Japan and the US was inevitable long before Pearl
Harbor.  Japan was allied with the other Axis powers and we were already firmly
committed to the Allied side.  Our formal declaration of war on Japan was the
day after - Dec 8, 1941, but "a declared war" had already been going on for over
two years - and we had already taken sides.

Part of the Pearl harbor scenario fits quite well.  America has been
violated, and not just an American Territory as was Hawaii in 1941, but
America herself.   It would be outrageous to suggest anger is not an
appropriate emotion at this time.  However anger which lashes out at
innocents is completely  wrong as is anger which assumes facts not in
evidence.  The axiom that revenge is best served cold holds true.

It didn't take an expose by the BBC to expose weaknesses in our airport
security.  I did see a visibly shaken Yassir Arafat expressing his shock on
the BBC broadcast.  I don't recall seeing that on American news, but then I
could have easily missed it.  I am no fan of Arafat and believe he is
encouraging the terrorist attacks on Israel.

I don't know what are response will be.  It may be that some of Shrek's
friends will be paying visits. I doubt these incidents are "domestic"  such
as Oklahoma City.  I never thought Oklahoma City  bombing was the work of
"Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists".  I kept asking, "Why would they target
Oklahoma City?"  If it domestic, it's one for the courts.  I don't know how
exactly to punish countries which harbor terrorists.  Usually the regimes
are unaffected and the people suffer.  Violations of  embargoes grow rampant

I don't think these statements are very well-reasoned.  I do not, in any
way,
condone this act, but it might be best to back off the natural emotional
rage
and be a bit more analytical.  An effective and coherent response demands
it.

I really doubt that "weakness" or "lagging economy, dumb guy in charge" have
anything to do with it.  We have been suffering terrorist attacks for a
decade,
although this is, without a doubt, the most diabolical and devastating.

The comparison of this atrocity and Pearl Harbor are quite understandable,
but
also quite wrong.  Both events will have had the result of uniting us in our
resolve, but the differences are much greater than the similarities.

Pearl Harbor occurred during a declared war between well-defined sides
consisting of states that were major world powers.  The surprise attack was
against a military installation with the express intent of crippling our
military response capabilities (e.g. being a "knockout punch").  We knew
immediately who did it.  We had a well-defined opponent and the ensuing war
was
total and waged by all "traditional" means - including crippling the economy
of
the aggressor nation.

While it can be reasonably argued that we have been in a "declared war" on
terrorism for some time, it is a different kind of war entirely.  "Sneak
attack"
is the norm rather than the exception.  It is a prerequisite for terrorism -
a
"declared" terrorist attack simply would not work.  (This is simply stating
the
rather obvious facts, not condoning the actions.)  In that context, it could
be
argued that this was only the most recent event in a long running war.
Another
major distinction is in the motivation of the perpetrators.  This I'll leave
to
those better qualified, but I doubt that anyone, even the terrorists and
their
supporters, actually believe that this action will deter a response or
diminish
its force, let alone deliver a "knockout punch".  A comparison to the
mutually
assured destruction (MAD) policy of the cold war is a better analogy.  Most
likely, this was done by terrorists who perceive that we have wronged them
and
want us to "share their pain" - MAD in a new form.  Unfortunately, MAD
doesn't
work very well from our side this time since there are so many disperse

carpet bomb Jerusalem?  Beirut? Place all Palestinians in concentration camps?
As a society of law, we have always been in a knotty dilemma in this respect.  A
radical over-reaction, especially against the wrong target or with immense
collateral damage, would be a much greater victory for the terrorists than even
all the massive human and economic damage in New York.  While maintaining the
moral high ground may not provide immediate satisfaction, it is essential.  We
must make a strong military response, but let's make it an effective one this
time.  So far, we haven't been winning this war.  The events of the day prove
it.  What may easily and quickly appease public opinion inside the US may
perhaps be (have been? - I hope) the preferred course for US politicians, but it
won't likely be best in the context of a rational and effective plan to
eliminate or minimize terrorism.

We in the US, have a history in this war, of knee-jerk emotional reactions and
jumping to conclusions.  I won't go into the details here, since it is only
likely to generate heated discussion.  Consider only the immediate reactions in
the press to the Oklahoma City bombing.  I have been watching both the US press
and BBC today.  The differences are stark.  The BBC is quite sympathetic, but
much more objective, analytical and responsible in their reporting.  For
example, they discussed past research by the US government that exposed severe
weaknesses in our domestic airline security and outlined potential solutions -
then talked about how the airlines and our politicians so strongly opposed them.
We want security, but we don't want the inconvenience that goes with it.  They
also discussed some of our past responses to terrorist attacks and how a few of
them were contrived to appease the public rather than punish the perpetrators.
This isn't likely ever to be heard in the US press.  We, as a nation, aren't

They attack when they sense weakness.
Lagging economy, dumb guy in charge.
They never hit hard enough though. If its not a knockout punch then they're
going down.

Remember what happened after Pearl Harbor?

  Terror attacks hit U.S.
September 11, 2001 Posted: 1457 GMT 

  
People walk away from the World Trade Center as ash rains down.
 
 
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Terrorists struck the United States Tuesday morning in
harrowing, widespread attacks that included at least three commercial jet
crashes into significant buildings. 

* In the first attack, a plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center
in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m., followed by another plane into the
second tower about 20 minutes later. Both towers later collapsed. 

* About an hour later, a plane crashed into the Pentagon, part of which
later collapsed.

* American Airlines told CNN that it lost two planes in "tragic accidents:"
Flight 11 from Boston with 81 passengers and 11 crew aboard and Flight 77
from Washington Dulles airport with 58 passengers and six crew aboard. Both
planes were en route to Los Angeles

* United Airlines Flight 93 airliner headed from Newark, New Jersey, to San
Francisco, crashed near Somerset, Pennsylvania -- police said initial
reports indicated no survivors. It was not known if this was connected to
the attacks. United also said it was "deeply concerned" about Flight l75
from Boston to Los Angeles. 

*  The Pentagon, the White House, the State Department, the Justice
Department, the Capitol, the CIA and all other government buildings in
Washington evacuated. 

* In the first ever national ground stop of aircraft, all flights nationwide
have been stopped at their departure airports. 

* All international flights were diverted to Canada. 

* Israel has evacuated all its missions around the world.

* President Bush cancelled an appearance in Florida to return to Washington,
calling the crashes "apparent terrorist attacks" and "a national tragedy." 

* In Chicago, the Sears Tower was evacuated; United Nations in New York
evacuated. 

* The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta was evacuated.
CDC was preparing bioterrorism teams in case they become necessary.

* The New York Port Authority said it had closed all bridges and tunnels
into the city. 

* New York's Bellevue Hospital was designated command central for handling
the catastrophe. Several hospitals have already reported receiving victims
with burns and head injuries. 

* U.S. stock markets were closed after the New York attacks.

Actually the World Trade Center is no more.  Both towers have collapsed 
in on themselves.
As for the economy, it will have global implications.  Rachel, are you on 
today?  How close is all this to you?

OT: STOP THE PRESS!!

List,

I am sure many of you Americans will have woken to this news, or maybe you
got to work before it happened:

I just saw on the news the World Trade Centre in NY, has just taken two
direct hits from two separate aeroplanes!! Suspected to be a terrorist
assault.  Full video the lot!! They hit around the top of the buildings..

My heart goes out to those in the buildings.. What will THIS do for the
American economy?

Mark
