Thread Name: Further thoughts on Pearl Harbour
Subject: RE: Further thoughts on Pearl Harbour
Gee, Kendall, good to know you agree, conspiracy theories usually don't work. Now, one could infer from your message, that you thought a conspiracy by international bankers brought about all our problems. But I'm sure that's not what you meant to say.

Fion: The reason I got the crazy idea that Japan and Germany has a "partnership," is that they signed an agreement, named the "Rome-Berlin-Tokio Axis." That committed Germany to go to war if Japan did. Hitler considered that a sufficient reason to declare war on the United States after Pearl Harbor. We did not declare war on Germany. They declared war on us. Were you aware of that?

O.k. Fionn. You have been chewing on World War II for several months. I spent some 20 years obtaining a Ph.D. in European history, so I think I know a little about it. And if you believe that Big Red and McGarvey are wrong in believing Adolf Hitler was bad, you are coming from a very weird place. It is really scary to think that there are still people who believe the British should have joined Hitler to attack the Soviet Union.

I think it is very unfair to Little Hawk, to suggest he would agree with that.
