A date which will live in infamy

Seventy five years ago today our nation was dragged into World War II by the Japanese navy's brutal surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. We were so intent on staying out of the war that getting bloodied and having our navy decimated was what it took for us to get in the fight. I can't help but wonder how things might have turned out if the Japanese pressed their advantage. It's comforting to think that everything would have turned out the same, but the more likely outcome would include brutal occupation in territory seized by the Japanese and fierce fighting on both sides. What do you think?
