I think the attack on Pearl Harbor was a lasp in the Japanese army's judgement. I mean how could they think we would just let them bomb our navy and not do anything? I know we were in "nuetrality", I put that in quotes because we were sending aide the allies, but I mean come on, it's stupid to think that you can bomb a country and think they are just going to sit back and go oh well to bad for us, better luck next year Pearl Harbor. @_@. It was also stupid for Hitler to declare war on the U.S. when we were still neutral. He should have known that a new batch of fresh soliders would have caused him more problems than it was worth. And it did, He lost the war, although it was actually the soviets who got to Berlin first.


Oh interesting fact I learned today about Hitler before WWII. He actually signed a peace agreement with Stalin, even though he hated the communist. He thought he could sign a treaty sancitoning off sections of Poland, and maybe some other eastern european countries, to Germany and Russia, and then he could eventually take Russa over. Funny thing is Stalin thought the same thing about Germany.

I don't quite think that's true. Though there was tension between the two countries, I don't think they knew much about Pearl Harbor before it happened. Remember, the US was neutral until the attack on Pearl Harbor and they did not want to get into the war in the first place. If the US really wanted to, they would have done so and not have let something like PH happen.

Neat. Anyone know much about four-leaf clovers? There's only one four leaf clover to 10,000 three leaf clovers. And each leaf of a four-leaf clover means something different: Faith, Hope, obviously luck and I think the last one is happiness. One mans collected thousands from a prison yard.

Really... let me enlighten you!

Patrick lived in England not too long after Rome fell (if memory serves correctly) and the Irish attacked the village where he lived, carrying him off to Ireland to be a slave. He was pretty miserable, understandably, but remembered what his father had told him about God. When he got to Ireland he became a shepherd and while he was tending sheep he would pray and so forth, trying to get closer to God. One day the opportunity arose for him to run away, so he did and went back to England. While in England he had a dream/ was led, to return to Ireland and preach to the people there. At that time the Irish were druids. (sp?) He returned and (to make a long story short) convinced the king to turn to turn from the druids and drove the druids from Ireland.

That's the short of it.
