In his speech to Congress on December 8, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt called the preceding day, December 7, "a date that will live in infamy." In the same speech, he called the Japanese attack "dastardly." Roosevelt's actions in provoking the Japanese attack should live in infamy and were themselves evil and dastardly. Roosevelt knowingly sacrificed the lives of American sailors in order to get us into war.
