Terrorists: "History repeats itself..."As an FYI, although this statement fairly accurately portrayed his personal opinion according to people who knew him personally, its actual attribution to Admiral Yamamoto was throughly debunked years ago. It was a writer's creation for the movie "Tora Tora Tora".Your source, please? I've seen the quote (which I paraphrased, it's longer) many times in many "official" sources; and seen nothing to disavow it.
Bartleby.com lists the attribution for this quote as the screenwriter for "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and lists "The Columbia World of Quotations" as the source. http://www.bartleby.com/66/77/22577.html -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
