Pearl Harbor - The FDR question

"Also its a risk since it were the Japanese who attacked you but the Nazi's were German and they were the ones you went to attack (thank god for that though). So how does getting bombed by the Japanese motivate attacking the Germans?"

Learn your history. We went to war with Germany 2 days later. Worked out perfectly.

"And its not like soldiers need to be mad at someone before they will do what they were ordered, look at Iraq (low blow, couldn't resist )."

Soldiers don't decide to go to war.

"If he did I wouldn't call him a traitor but a coward and an awfull leader. I think people wouldn't have wanted to fight to free europe simply because they didn't know what exactly was going on."

Hitler took over France in 3 weeks and was annihilating Britains army. WTF do you mean we didn't know exactly what was going on?

"This is exactly like one of the conspiracy theories about 911."

I think this is quite a bit different. There is a TON of proof that FDR knew. Is it conclusive? Fairly, but it doesn't mean it's for sure right. The conspiracy theories about 9/11 have absolutely no basis whatsoever other than a bunch of pissed off dems rambling about because they hate Bush. I've read several of them.

Besides, if FDR knew he let it happen to save Europe and ultimately America. Bush probably could have pushed us into war eventually with Iraq if he wanted to.

"I will believe that there were some major conspiracies with the JFK assassination but with the world we live in and especially with America we have no trust in anything."

I hate the JFK assassination. It's so obvious somethings very wrong about the public story but we really have very little proof to chase any kind of lead anywhere lol. Too bad the government confiscated most the film shot that day. =/

"We are always looking to find a conspiracy that many times we create one because it seems to be plausible even if it's not true."

I'll agree with that. That's why I usually say things like "This is what I think happened, but given the evidence I could be very wrong." Just like I think there is a good chance FDR knew about pearl harbor, but that doesn't mean he did. It may have just been coincidence that he followed that 8 point memo to a t and that he in fact had never seen it before. /shrug
