Yes but there are major differences. One would be that when Pearl Harbor occured the Whole world was at WAR. Another difference would be that it was a country who attacked us not some rag tag group of individuals. And with Pearl Harbor it was just a matter of time before USA got involved because the WHOLE world around us was at war. When we did enter the war the President wasnt trying to instill Fear into the the people and use it to his advantage like Bush is trying to do now. What I am Saying is that your 2 comparison dont fit. If you dont get it by now then you never will.
