Pearl Harbour Day nhasi rakaita seColumbus Day 50 makore apfuura. Ndokureva: vanhu vazhinji vachiri kutenda iwo hype. Idzo ngano dzichiri dzakachengetedzwa mumugariro wavo wekunakidzwa unquestioned. "New Pearl Harbor" inoshumirwa nevagadziri vehondo, vanonzi, uye vanobiridzirwa. Asi Pearl Harari yekutanga inoramba iri iyo inonyanya kuzivikanwa nharo yeUS yezvinhu zvese zvechiuto, kusanganisira iyo yakanonoka kudzokororwa kudzokororwa kweJapan - tisingatauri nezveWWII kudzidziswa kwevaJapan vekuAmerican senzira yekunanga mamwe mapoka nhasi. Vanotenda muPearl Harbor vanofungidzira nezve chiitiko chavo chakare, mukusiyana nanhasi, kusarongeka kukuru kweUS, kushomeka kwakachena, mutsauko wakanyanya pamusoro pezvakanaka nezvakaipa, uye kukosha kwakakwana kwekudzivirira kwehondo.
Ichokwadi hachibatsiri nheyo. Hurumende yeUnited States haina kudikanwa kuita Japan ishamwari yakakura muhutongi, haifaniri kupisa nhangemutange yehondo, haina kudikanwa tsigira Nazism uye fascism (semamwe emakambani makuru eUnited States akaita zvakanaka kuburikidza nehondo), haaifanira kutsvaga Japan, haaifanira kubatanidzwa nehondo muAsia kana kuEurope, uye haana kushamiswa nekurwiswa kwePearl Harbor. Kuti uwane rubatsiro rweumwe neumwe wezvirevo izvi, ramba uchiverenga.
Hondo Yenyika II haina kumira mushe sechinhu chakanyanya kushungurudzika muvanhu uye hurumende yeUS kunyanya (pamwe nehumwe humwe hurumende) zvakamboita chero nguva pfupi pfupi. Hondo dzichangobva kuitika hadzi dziswedere pedyo. Kune imwe yakafanana neiyo Downing Street Minitsi.
Musi waAugust 18, 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill akasangana nekambani yake ku10 Downing Street. Musangano uyu wakanga wakafanana kuneJuly 23, 2002, musangano pane imwechete kero, maminitsi ayo akazozivikanwa seAwaying Street Minutes.
