More from the "In Sorrow Shalt Thou Bring Forth Children" Crowd

Furthering the goals of the "keep women out of jobs and schools" faction:

On June 7th, the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that gave married people the right to use contraception, the American Life League, along with Pro-Life Wisconsin and Pharmacists for Life International Associate groups want you to join them in protesting in front of facilities that distribute birth control products.  (From Alternet)

That's right, they don't just hate abortions, they hate birth control too.  And if we end up in the same social situation we were in the 1800s,--when a woman couldn't get an education or a decent-paying, well-respected job, because we couldn't ever be alone with a man we weren't related to--why that's not just an unfortunate but necessary side effect of preserving women's purity, but the whole point of the exercise.

Nicked from Wikipedia:

The United States of America was neutral early in the war, although it steadily grew ties with the Allies and began providing increased levels of assistance to them. The United States joined the Allies in December 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, when war on Japan was declared by Congress on December 11. Germany and Italy declared war on the United States 3 days later. The United States subscribed to the Allied plan of making German defeat the priority, where it operated in coordination with the United Kingdom in most major operations. However, it also maintained a strong effort against Japan, being the primary Allied power in the Pacific Theatre. The U.S. played an important role in providing valuable industrial production to support the Allied war effort....

So unless Saddam Hussien dropped some bombs on Hawaii that you haven't told us about, it's ain't the same.

I wasn't aware that either the German or the Italians had bombed Pearl Harbor ...

The Germans, the Italians, and the Japanese were allied to each other.

Al Quaeda, which actually attacked the US, and Saddam Hussein, who paid the price, were not only *not* allies, they hated each other with a passion. Osama bin Laden is probably *still* laughing about it--he attacked an entity he hated, and that entity was so stupid it promptly turned around and destroyed another entity he hated. In the process making room for bin Laden's organization to flourish in the latter entity.
