08:07 PM - Days of Infamy Today is one of the several days when we Americans honor our fallen comrades, and one of two days of infamy when we recall devastating surprise attacks upon our homeland. The magnitudes of the attacks were roughly equal, but they may be distinguished in a few ways. Formerly, the enemy flew a national flag, presented a military target, and was formally allied with an coalition of other expansionistic national powers. The more recent attacks lacked all of these characteristics, though Al Qaeda and other Islamic jihadists have been informally allied with various Arab nations on occasion, e.g. Saddam's support of Palestinian terrorists.
