In the last century, we were never been so united as we were during World War Two. Here is a quote from President Franklin Roosevelt after the attack on Pearl Harbor:
"No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory."
( American Rhetoric: Franklin Delano Roosevelt - Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation (12-08-41) )
Indeed, united we were, at home and abroad, fighting - and winning - a world war on two fronts.
And after September 11, 2001 - at least for the first few weeks - America seemed to be united, again, after the attacks on New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. The battle cry was - United We Stand. And this slogan went out on flags, bumper stickers, posters, T-shirts, ...
United We Stand?
Really?
