Reply #9: I can see the similarities of 9/11 to Pearl Harbor........

and the similarities of America Fighting a two front war Japan/German to our fighting Iraq/Afghanistan, although WWII had the advantage of being fought at a time when a rational competent President was at the helm from the beginning, while we've had 8 years of fucked up Bush who started both of his wars, and mishandled both to a point of extreme, and then some. So, I'm thinking Obama will have an even tougher time with the wars he inherited, unlike FDR who didn't have someone passing them off to him after they had been clearly botched.

I also see great similarities of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the Wall Street Crash of 2008,
compared to any other period in history...sure currently it isn't the extreme that the Depression was, but we can all thank goodness for that, considering that we are in the 21st century.

I don't find the comparison at all laughable...... :shrug:
