The Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. As president, this makes me feel mad and impotent. My people are looking to me for guidance and assistance to resolve our nation tragedy. It's a sad day, the only to resolve the attack on our land is to go to war. So, I did what I had to do. In the wake of all this I have taken a very long look at my life. Have I lived a good life? Was I a good Senator, secretary of Navy, and president? Was I good father, husband, son? Have I made the right decisions in life and for my family and country?

Many have compared the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 to the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. They argue that both attacks were just as astonishing, unwarranted and unpredictable. The World Trade Center buildings in New York City still lie in ruin, an icy reminder of the terrorist attack. Both the U.S.S. Arizona and the U.S.S Utah remain on the floor of Pearl Harbor, each a ghostly, decaying tomb reminding all of the thousands that gave their life on that fateful day, also, they are both reminders of seemingly how easily the attack was carried out a...
