  t.jpg (1246 bytes)he day after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, 12/7/41, Roosevelt urged a joint session of Congress to declare that a state of war existed with Japan (and with the axis powers, including Hitler's Germany).Only one Congress member voted in opposition, in sharp contrast to the previous summer when renewal of the draft was passed by just a single vote.What a difference a day makes -- when it is a "day of infamy", Roosevelt's characterization of 12/7/41, that 60 years later applies to 9/11/01.
  
  Drafted at 18, I was pulled out of the infantry to learn Japanese, sent to Tokyo Feb-Aug. '46 as a 20 year old interpreter in an army intelligence unit.Along with thousands of others trained in these tasks, I participated in disarming the populace, repatriating refugees, preparing for a democratic election, guarding the new prime minister, keeping law and order, and coordinating with the Japanese police.When I followed the Tokyo war crimes trials, I learned something that had puzzled me for years, the reason the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor when they had no intention of an invasion.
