Why, oh why, oh why?

Quick summary, not bad, but not as good as Tora Tora Tora. Anyway, I can't believe they cut out part of the best quote of WWII. Yamamoto says in "Pearl Harbor", "I think all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant"! Where's the rest??? One of the best quotes ever is "I think all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant, and fill him with a terrible resolve". It would have taken another 2 seconds of film time to add the rest of the quote. And it was so true. December 6th 1941, most American's didn't want to get involved in "The European Conflict". "It's not out war"! was the cry from the masses. December 7th it became their war, too. Yamamoto was right. The States never would give up fighting Japan after Pearl Harbor, even with a policy of "Europe First". The "Day of Infamy" wasn't about to be forgotten by the American people. And it obviously still hasn't.
