Like you said, Follow the money. Money makes robbers rob, strippers strip,
and writers write.
I was around at that time. We lost a large part of our
navy that day, and had a very hard time recovering. If the attack was
allowed, even though we knew for certain it was coming, we would have at least
moved the ships to someplace where we would not have lost them. FDR was a
democrat, but even democrats are not that stupid.
Thanks for your input.

DAY OF DECEIT: The Truth About FDR and Pearl
Harbor
by Robert B. Stinnett
Pearl
Harbor was not an accident, a mere failure of American intelligence, or
a brilliant Japanese military coup. It was the result of a carefully
orchestrated design, initiated at the highest levels of our government.
According to a key memorandum, eight steps were taken to make sure we
would enter the war by this means. Pearl Harbor was the only way,
leading officials felt, to galvanize the reluctant American public into
action.

"WW two I can understand. We were attacked. It
was self defense." Terry
Now, though, according to Robert Stinnett, author of Day
Of Deceit (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2001), we have the proof.
Stinnett's book is dedicated to Congressman John Moss, the author of
America's Freedom of Information Act. According to Stinnett, the answers to
the mysteries of Pearl Harbor can be found in the extraordinary number of
documents he was able to attain through Freedom of Information Act requests.
Cable after cable of decryptions, scores of military messages that America
was intercepting, clearly showed that Japanese ships were preparing for war
and heading straight for Hawaii. Stinnett, an author, journalist, and World
War II veteran, spent sixteen years delving into the National Archives. He poured over more than
200,000 documents, and conducted dozens of interviews. This meticulous
research led Stinnet to a firmly held conclusion: FDR knew.
--------------------------
Until now. After decades of Freedom of Information Act requests, Robert
B. Stinnett has gathered the long-hidden evidence that shatters every
shibboleth of Pearl Harbor. It shows that not only was the attack expected,
it was deliberately provoked through an eight-step program devised by the
Navy. Whereas previous investigators have claimed that our government did
not crack Japan's military codes before December 7, 1941, Stinnett offers
cable after cable of decryptions. He proves that a Japanese spy on the
island transmitted information--including a map of bombing
targets--beginning on August 21, and that government intelligence knew all
about it. He reveals that Admiral Kimmel was prevented from conducting a
routine training exercise at the eleventh hour that would have uncovered the
location of the oncoming Japanese fleet. And contrary to previous claims, he
shows that the Japanese fleet did not maintain radio silence as it
approached Hawaii. Its many coded cables were intercepted and decoded by
American cryptographers in Stations on Hawaii and in Seattle.
