The Road to Forever War

President Jimmy Carter carried on the tradition of "moral diplomacy" to respond to the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.

December 7th would be a day that would "live in infamy," but the events of December 5th would have as big an impact on World War II and American history as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor!
