1947 v. 2007

1947: six years after Pearl Harbor, America is victorious everywhere and at peace for two years. Hitler is dead, and Tojo about to be executed.

2007: six years after 9/11, America is bogged down in Afghanistan & Iraq, with peace at least ten years in the future. bin Ladin is laughing his ass off!

The difference:

FDR was in it to win.

The House of Bush and Saud are in it for the money.
