Obviously unproveable, but almost certainly true. The timing, however, was crucial. If we had waited a little longer, the outcome might have been different, though probably not much. We may someday accept the fact that we prevailed in that combat less due to prowess on the battlefield than to the fact that we were the only combatant whose industrial base could not be bombed.

FT,
You are probably right about that. It's just that FDR was our president and a murdering traitor at the same time. Some of the sailors were trapped in those battleships underwater and lived for weeks before they finally died, never rescued. They tapped on the inside of the ship for a long time before it finally stopped. I guess nobody knew how to rescue them.
