What a difference 60 years makes. Now it is the United States that is the unprovoked aggressor.
Though we did not "sneak" attack Iraq, we were nevertheless completely unprovoked. (Unless, of course, you count violation of U.N. resolutions as a provocation for invasion and occupation ... in which case, where is our invastion of Israel???).
I am ASHAMED to be an American.
But hardly ashamed to be me. So you can stop all the self-hater bullsh!t before you start. I do not have to identify as an American, and I do not. I am an individual human being, and I will not be identified with any of the myriad dastardly deeds of the U.S. Empire. It may not be as bad as the Japanese Empire was in 1941 .... but a rapist may not be as bad as a murderer, and yet both are bad-to-the-bone.

LMAO!!...I wish I could embed a sound file of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." in my reply, but rest assured I'm playing it on my iPod in salute to your reply. The 65 years doesn't really make that much of a difference. If modern day leftists had been around back then they'd have blamed F.D.R. for cutting off Japan's oil supply (if only they'd use wind power maybe it could have been avoided!) and provoking an attack; then again maybe not. Stalin had to be saved, after all.
