Day of Infamy

Today is the 66th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese.

Pearl Harbor was/is a military base for the U.S. in Hawaii. It forced the U.S. into World War II. Here are some websites to view if you are interested!

Question: Do you think the U.S. was justified in dropping 2 atomic bombs on Japan (Hiroshima & nagasaki) after the attack on Pear Harbor?
