Re: [Marxism] Pearl Harbor (was: Cockburn on 9/11 conspiracy nuts

This exhibits dramatically how conspiracy theories COVER UP THE REAL
CONSPIRACY. Pearl Harbor was not planned. That is Bull Shit. BUT, the
war was forced on Japan. That  can be easily seen from the public

be better claimed without this bullshit about Pearl Harbor.
