Anyone who thinks FDR was a communist socialist or fascist probably reads the Liberty Fund propaganda and listens to Rush Limbaugh. Anyone who believes FDR had prior knowledge of Pearl Harbor and intentially witheld that info to maximize the loss and persuade Americans to enter WW2, is ignorant. The first shots fired at Pearl in hostility were fired by American guns and the first casualities were Japanese. Base Commander Husband Kimmil failed to be "alert to a surprise attack from any direction" and failed to pre-plan against an airborne and sea attack. The blame rests with him alone.
