US in action?
Has anyone thought there is a connection between the closing of US embassies in many countries (like in Indonesia and Hongkong) with US' plan to attack Iraq? I think, they will had do it soon. And, according to a chat with my friend, US will have do it by what they had do with Japan in Pearl Harbor followed by US miliatry action to Japan (WW II). I think, they will do it by the same way by provocate Iraq in hope that Iraq will did a same mistake, so US (and their fellows) could blame the bad Saddam. Boom! Yuhaaa! Duuuhaaa! PS: Dont't be serious with me, i'm not a political scholar, just a geek who very like to tell what he thoughtUpdate: I just remember to recall my January post titled "Remembering Pearl Harbor". There i concludes the fact about FDR and Pearl Harbor from a book authored by Robert B. Stinnett, an American WW II veteran who wrote it on his book titled Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor. Here an excerpt from Amazon:
It was not long after the first Japanese bombs fell on the American naval ships at Pearl Harbor that conspiracy theories began to circulate, charging that Franklin Roosevelt and his chief military advisors knew of the impending attack well in advance. Robert Stinnett, who served in the U.S. Navy with distinction during World War II, examines recently declassified American documents and concludes that, far more than merely knowing of the Japanese plan to bomb Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt deliberately steered Japan into war with America.
Stinnett's argument draws on both circumstantial evidence--the fact, for example, that in September 1940 Roosevelt signed into law a measure providing for a two-ocean navy that would number 100 aircraft carriers--and, more importantly, on American governmental documents that offer apparently incontrovertible proof that Roosevelt knowingly sacrificed American lives in order to enter the war on the side of England. Although obviously troubled by his discovery of a systematic plan of deception on the part of the American government, Stinnett does not take deep issue with its outcome. Roosevelt, he writes, faced powerful opposition from isolationist forces, and, against them, the Pearl Harbor attack was "something that had to be endured in order to stop a greater evil--the Nazi invaders in Europe who had begun the Holocaust and were poised to invade England." Sure to excite discussion, Stinnett's book offers what may be the final word on the terrible matter of Pearl Harbor. --Gregory McNamee --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
