Thanks!

Jim,

Thank you for posting this. I'd never read the entire speach, and I'd only heard excerpts.

It doesn't supprise me that there were people that still wanted to bargin with Japan after the Pearl Harbor attack. There are people today who want to bargin with al Qaeda! And look what they've done. (No offence intended to any Japanese members of this board who might read this. I am in no way comparing Imperial Japan to al Qaeda.)

Jim

That is a powerful speech. Direct to the point and he didn't mix words, just chose them carefully.

yes, thanks for posting this one... sad, I am a college professor, less than half my class knew what happened Dec 7th, but ALL knew the last episode of House..

check out this page, has the audio and the annotated original speech notes

cheers mate

That is sad. So I guess asking them what happened on October 21 is totally out of the question as well? Or even June 4th-7th. OK, I'll stop.

Thank you for the link. It might come in handy down the road.
