Sixty years ago, Japan pulled off what was -- until September 11th -- the most devastating attack on American soil by a foreign nation. Now, as the United States sets its sites on a new enemy, terrorism, Japan has sent warships in support of the U.S. effort. This marks the first time since World War 2 that the Japanese military has been used to support forces engaged in combat. History has a way of running in cycles. Sixty years after Pearl Harbor, we'll examine the evolution of U.S.-Japanese relations and the direction they are heading in the decades ahead.
