Edwin,

Like you, I reacted to an off topic QOD. It is likely that my age
exceeds yours and I do have a very good memory. I don't believe there
ever was a fun war.

You may know of how Roosevelt used subterfuge to ensure that USA was
attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbour. He dearly wanted to get into
the European war, but Hitler wouldn't attack anything belonging to US.
Your Constitution ensured that he could not declare a war without US
being first attacked. He goaded the Japanese into attacking US, to give
him the Constitutional right to declare war on Japan, therefore
automatically upon Germany, against the then will of the US people. That
he deliberately hoodwinked his own people at Pearl Harbour, greatly
compounds his treasonable act.

"Those who ignore history are destined to relive it." Relived twice
... in Viet Nam and currently, via 9/11, in the Middle East.

This ends my input.

Dennis.
