Firebombing Hamburg, Pearl Harbor and Nine Eleven

Firebombing Hamburg, Pearl Harbor and Nine Eleven
Mark Weber - Podcast
http://www.ihr.org/mwreport/2011-09-14
Putting Nine Eleven in historical perspective, Weber takes a look at terrorism in history. He compares and contrasts the 9/11 horror with the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the British-American fire-bombing of Hamburg in July 1943, which took the lives of 40,000 civilians. Weber compares how Americans marked the tenth anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack with the tenth anniversary remembrance of Nine Eleven, and explains why the national commemorations have been so different.
