Pearl Harbor

It hardly seems so long ago but today is the 67th anniversary of attack on Pearl Harbor.

Somehow when I was a child the "War" was more real than it is today. It was a daily focus of discussion and parents were soldiers and survivors.

Now it is a rapidly fading memory.

Perhaps that's good; but somehow I wonder if it makes a new world war more likely.

The cynical part of me thinks that a new world war is unlikely, if only because our political leaders know better than to declare "war" now. They'll fight wars on terror or wars on drugs, but no more wars on people or countries. Instead, they call it "liberation", and there's a lot of that going on.
