Re:WWII looming? (Score 1)

Of course, the fact that Japan bombed Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaya on December 7 (December 8 on that side of the international date line) may have had something to do with the UK declaring war on Japan. Had Germany bombed US overseas posessions on September 1, 1939, I don't think the US would have waited until 1941 to declare war...
