Pearl Harbor day

On December 7th, 1941, Japan bombed the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, causing America to join World War II on the side of the Allied Powers. President Franklin Roosevelt called it "a date that will live on in infamy," and all Americans should remember the historical significance of this day. Also, a Saddam update for today: the Iraqi dictator followed through on yesterday's threat and did indeed fail to show up for court. I wonder what his punishment will be!
