Read the following passage from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation":
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. . . .

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
Explain what Roosevelt means when he says that December 7th, 1941, is "a date which will live in infamy." What central idea about the attack on Pearl Harbor does the description help convey, and how does it help convey it?
