Drawing erroneous conclusions
Bush, Rumsfeld, misinterpret our war history
-Steve Chapman, 6-3-2004
. . ."Americans were not willing to go to war with Japan to free China and Korea from colonial rule, or to save Germany's neighbors from being swallowed up, or to rescue Jews from slaughter. It was only when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and Hitler declared war on us that we mobilized to fight.
Americans had no alternative. We had been attacked, and defeat was unthinkable. If it meant losing nearly 300,000 soldiers in combat, or twice that many, the price had to be paid.

They were about government's gravest and most basic responsibility: national survival." . . .
