break the code. :-(
How? By shutting down their access to oil and other resources. ??? What does that mean? Who is "their"? Japan's. During the 30's, the Dutch East Indies (IIRC) was the main source of oil and other resources (Japan had about as many local resources as they do now.) They were essentially "shut out". Ah, you mean the Japanese diplomatic code. There were good retaliatory reasons we cut off their oil and other resources, but that's neither here nor there. I thought maybe you were talking up some secret "revisionist historian code", or something! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Ah, you mean the Japanese diplomatic code. There were good retaliatory reasons we cut off their oil and other resources, but that's neither here nor there. It's exactly HERE. I thought maybe you were talking up some secret "revisionist historian code", or something! :-) No, it's part of history, even if ignored my many in the mainstream. A history text can only cover so much; what's important is that crucial issues be covered, not whitewashed. A good example from last week was the 40th Anniversary of JFK's assassination. What's conveniently left out is that JFK's approval numbers were below 30% and it was likely he was going to be a one-termer. Legend has it that it was the reason LBJ "intervened"; he did not want to go down in flames, never to run again.
