Sadly, it justifies the intolerance, ignorance and hate that I see displayed on my Facebook feed, in news story comment threads, and at Republican debates (maybe Democratic ones, too; we'll see when we actually have one).

The difference for me is that Pearl Harbor was a military base attacked by a country we were at war with (or would have been if the US gov't didn't keep the Japanese diplomat waiting). It would be a lot different if the Japanese had bombed San Francisco -- or New York. Hitting a soft target is never permissible. It's utterly shocking on every level, and I think it always will be. Although as I see hate-speak rise everywhere, I guess intolerance, ignorance, and lack of sympathy are becoming more widespread. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-1588148778467936062015-09-14T20:17:30.576-04:002015-09-14T20:17:30.576-04:00We are who we are because of where we were when .....We are who we are because of where we were when ... Sadly 9/11 isn't something they experienced the same way we did, the same way my parents (though kids) experienced Pearl Harbor. It really is true: you had to be there.Donna K.

I'm glad we continue to tell the stories.Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.com
