It's interesting you bring up Pearl Harbor, because in recently declassified documents, it turns out that we knew that was coming too, and allowed it to happen so the American people would be incited enough to allow the president to get involved in the war.

It's interesting when a government allows something tragic like that to happen for the purposes of manipulating it's own people to get behind whatever the current administration wants to squeak through Congress.

But as long as you are good with "well I don't know for sure so I'll just assume our government wouldn't lie to us -again- over something as serious as this", then who's gonna stop them?

As long as we can all buy our DVD's and video games, we don't care.
