Uh, did you actually read the fallow of the people who missed the signs? It was not pretty how many people lost their leadership positions.
But to compare that to what we have now is pretty short sighted- especially looking at how other countries reacted to the exact same information- Taiwan and South Korea- BOTH of them reacted to the information coming of China and contained the problem very effectively. While there were some warning signs in 1941, the information this time was clear and pretty obvious- so obvious that THIS message board was talking about what should be done and why we have done nothing.
This is more like Japan actually telling us they will attack, somewhere, and us not doing anything to prepare. Not that they were preparing in secret and hiding that info from us- we barely had that info a day in advance. If we KNEW they were going to attack a month in advance, and did nothing, the fallout would have been a lot worst.
Smart people all saw this coming. Your leaders denied that it was even real- calling it a hoax. If you want to justify this pathetic response by comparing it to Pearl Harbor, go for it, as it just tells the rest of us what you are willing to put up with in terms of letting people suffer and die. Again, thanks for that clarification- can you also post what "church" you go to, so that I can avoid those people, too?
