Because apparently that's how you push a "sneak attack" like The Golden Compass. Hirohito's press junket is the stuff of legend.

And yes, I'm aware of tracking the beginning of WWII to Dec. 7, 1941 when the Brits were already getting shelled and Poland invaded.

Unless (in an unfortunately all-too-common US-centric view) you're ignoring anything that happened before America officially got involved. Oliver: “…and started a global war.”

I meant to direct that at Don Feder, not David Horowitz. Horowitz has plenty of his own nutty quotations to take apart without attributing Feder's to him. Whoops.

Not to mention a source material that was published 12 years ago? Not just sloppy reasoning, David. Sloppy writing, as well.
