09-11 PLUS 21 YEARS

One last photo on the deck of the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Kaga the day before they attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941

 

It was 21 years ago on December 7, our generations Pearl Harbor.  It isn't necessarily good to dwell on it, but it probably is good to think about it.  Another civilization struck at us just because we are here.  They didn't / don't like our way of life, it offends them, so they wanted to kill us.  A fair chunk of "them" still do.

You don't have to obsess over it.  You shouldn't.  But pretending it didn't happen will not make it go away.  "They" still want to destroy us.  "They" still want to kill us.  "They" are still out there, working really hard to develop nuclear weapons in order to pressure us, scare us, force us to knuckle under to "them."

Think about it.  Have a nice day.
