In my opinion, making any sort of connection between the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese and the 911 attack by terrorists is totaly ludicrous. The Japanese wanted to be the dominate force in Asia, and the US was simply in their way. Long before we went to war with Japan, we were doing things to keep Japan in check.
