U.S. Soliders Do Not (Always) Protect Our Freedom

[Mad Dog]

Heres a thought: nobody questioned during WWII when japan attacked us we not only went after japan but also nazi germany. During this decade Al Queda (sp?) attacks us and shortly after we go after Saddam, but its followed by hatred and criticism. Just a thought, not saying if I agree with the war, and this isnt really on topic but I just wanted to put it out there.

It was easier to fool a nation back then. A whole lot less media. Look at what the Nazi's did to the German people. They didn't know they were losing the war untill the Allies marched on Berlin!

You technically right saying it was easier to "fool a nation" back then, but in reality I don't think Franklin D. Roosevelt(d) was trying to fool anybody. As soon as Japan bombed Pearl Harbor everybody knew the drill. It may have taken a couple of months to actually declare war on Germany, but since Germany and Japan were Allies, it was only a matter of time before we were at war with Germany, and everyone except the staunchest pacifist knew it. I say that is pretty comparable with Afghanistan and Iraq.
