If you have never seen it, the young Japanese man applies for yard and housework with an older veteran of WWII. The telling moment, (after the climax which I do not wish to give away,) is when Takei's character confesses that his own father, a Japanese-American working as a civilian at Pearl Harbor, plotted with the Japanese military and executed the plan to guide and direct the fleet of Japanese bombers directly to Pearl Harbor where they were to drop their deadly bombs.<br /><br />This is plainly a very stupid and misguided work of fiction. Maybe it's one reason that Serling got tired of the series.<br /><br />Usually its right-wingers that subscribe to various theories that Cheney somehow knew or even participated in the plot to destroy the WTC, severely damage the Pentagon, and whatever the one that crash-landed was supposed to do before the American civilian heroes drove it down into a field.<br /><br />This scenario is extremely difficult to construct in one's mind in any way that is remotely believable.<br /><br />Bush was not vigilant. Bush, Cheney, et al took advantage, in an extremely evil way, of this atrocity committed against our republic. They used it rather effectively to promote their own sickening agendas. But they didn't plan it or allow it.<br /><br />Nobody really believes that.Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806139740885604178.post-36445389532197873972016-08-09T17:53:51.005-07:002016-08-09T17:53:51.005-07:00Personally I don't believe FDR knew about Pear...Personally I don't believe FDR knew about Pearl Harbor in advance nor do I believe GWB knew about 911 in advance. <br /><br />You despise GWB, if not that then you have great disdain for him, and, IMO it tends to cloud your objectivity at times.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806139740885604178.post-28236135324558158632016-08-09T15:56:17.669-07:002016-08-09T15:56:17.669-07:00I doubt it.

There is the <a href="http://www.aol.com/article/2015/12/07/did-fdr-know-about-the-pearl-harbor-attack-before-it-happened/21278609/" rel="nofollow">fact</a> that "<i>...the majority of mainstream historians reject the idea that Roosevelt knew of the exact details of the Pearl Harbor attack, but also agree that the administration underestimated the threat coming from the Japanese empire</i>", although this is exactly what future historians might say about bush re 9/11. But I think the warnings bush received were more plentiful, more urgent and more concrete.<br /><br />In any case, I suspect you're throwing out the "FDR know about Pearl Harbor" meme as a way to "refute" me saying gwb knew about 9/11.
