Yet another National Review piece (by Victor Davis Hanson) on the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo, and suggested modern reactions.
Until this rash response, we were at a critical lull in a precious four months of reasoned sobriety, a sort of equilibrium where Pearl Harbor could be seen in terms as a response to our own prior indifference — or in fact hostility — to the legitimate aspirations of the Japanese people. But with Mr. Doolittle’s theatrics we are entering a cycle of violence, where the root causes of this conflict will not be addressed by bombing in some sort of endless tit-for-tat.
Wickedly funny.
