It is my belief that the three greatest lessons we needed to gain from the successful attack on Pearl Harbor, HI were:
1) To remain ever vigilent/never let our guard down.
2) Even if we choose to remain uninvolved, ensure we are fully prepared to engage an enemy successfully.
3) In the face of evil, if we are to survive, we are not always given a choice whether we will fight or not.

... and sadly, we have clearly not learned these lessons after Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
I'm watching Pearl Harbor: 24 Hours After on The History Channel ... what a piece of crap. I'd say it should have been titled Why You Should Idolize FDR since that's about 3/4 of the material.
I wen to the memorial last year with my wife and kids, it was very emotional.
Never forgotten,, Grandfather and his brother,my Godfather were there.
Both never forgave " those slanteyed basterds"
ps- quoted not my words,,RESPECTED elders feelings of their generation
