Subject: RE: Mbo's Quote O' The Day--Dec 7
Mbo, why is the attack on Pearl Harbour more a day of infamy than, say, Hiroshima Day, Nagasaki Day, the day the US lanched bomb attacks on Libya, the day they started the Gulf War against Iraq . . . etc.

It seems to me you suffer from a highly selective morality. If we must perpetually re-visit the past (and, in the correct context I believe it is right to do so) can we not do so in a spirit of remembrance of ALL the victims of institutionalised violence, and while looking to how we can work to reduce such violence in the future.
