We only ever talk about the third attack on Pearl Harbor
Lets remind us our dates.<p>July 4, 1898, the Newlands Resolution was a joint resolution by the United States Congress to annex the independent Republic of Hawaii. In 1900, Congress occupied the Territory of Hawaii, despite the opposition of most native Hawaiians.<p>Dec 7, 1941 is when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Hawai'i, an occupied territory.<p>August 21, 1959 is when they were forcibly turned into a state, after 60 years of occupation.<p>Note that Japan did not bomb native settlements and cities where civilians and natives lived - only the occupying force.<p>Edit: both posts are at -4. And indeed it's sad to see close minded nationalism take and keep hold. The world is bigger than from Hawai'i to Maine, and the USA is often the aggressor. I liken to consider myself a citizen of the earth, and not any one nation.
