  1. On one hand, I'm thinking "Two hours? On a Tuesday afternoon? Why?" On the other hand, I look at the date.
    17
  2. In regards to "Japanese Foreign Ministries' bungled declaration of war on the US". My opinion is: There was no 'bungling'. It happened exactly how the Japanese Foreign Ministry wanted it to happen. All the bungling was engineered. They wanted a fig leaf. They wanted deniability. They wanted a sneak attack. I want to believe that they (the Foreign Ministry) lied to the IJN and Yamamoto. I want to believe the stories of Yamamoto's reaction to learning that the attack was 'undeclared'. I feel sorry for the guy. They threw him under the rickshaw.
