Another Day of Infamy
Dec. 7….(FOJ) On this day in 1941, the
United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was
attacked. The bombing killed 2,388 Americans, put much of
the Pacific fleet out of commission, and came while the
Japanese ambassador in Washington was preparing for a
diplomatic appointment at the State Department. Among the
losses was the battleship Arizona, which went down with
nearly all hands on board. It is still there as a national
shrine. In President Roosevelt's speech to Congress the next
day asking for a declaration of war, he called Dec. 7 "a
date which will live in infamy.” Fortunately, America rose
to the test of that day, and beat back the forces of
tyranny. Pearl Harbor is shown below in an aerial satellite
photo. It was the site of the worst attack on our nation
until September 11, 2001, and yet, it may not be the last.
Ironically, today, December
7, 2006, (through the Iraq Study Group) America,
because it is a nation divided against itself, has decided
to engage the forces of tyranny in dialogue, and try to find
a way to appease the enemies of Liberty. Sadly, today is
turning out to mark the day when America began to turn its
back on Israel, in the Middle East Conflict. I caution all
the readers of FOJ that the pathway that America is
apparently choosing today, is a road to our own peril.
Forcing Israel to make concessions of its Promised Land in
order to facilitate a false peace with the enemies of Israel
is an action that will bring the curse of God on our nation.
