SOME LONG FORGOTTEN FACTS: What

SOME LONG FORGOTTEN FACTS:

What it takes to bestir the American people to action:

1915: 123 Americans perished when the Germans torpedoed the British liner Lusitania.

1941: 2403 Americans were killed when the Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Even then the attack was not against civilians but a military target.

2001: More than 3000 people, mostly innocent civilians were killed in the attacks on 9-11-2001.

And still we debate the rectitude of warring against our sworn enemies.
