Passing on the lessons from Pearl Harbor

Dec. 7, 1941 was a traject day for the United States. This was the day that the Japanese attacked Pear Harbor. The San Francisco Chronicle interviewed people who reflected on this day. These interviews can help us to understand the lessons from Pearl Harbor and apply them to the current.

Some of the lessons that we can learn from Pearl Harbor are; be prepared, use the intelligents, do not forget, no more war, and more. For most people today Pearl Harbor is a distant event. When we were hit on September 11, 2001, we were shocked. We had forgotten that we were still vunerable to attack. Some people who lived through Pearl Harbor think that there were lessons that we could have applied to Sep. 11, to have avoided it. For example some think that Bush know about the attack and that he let it happen because he needed an excuse to go to war with Iraq. Some think that Resevelt deployed a similar tacktic during Pearl Harbor.
