Roosevelt knew entering the war would never be tolerated by the people. Exactly why Pear Harbour happened to get them to enter the conflict, just as the sinking of the Lusitania got the US into WW1. The attack was expected: new ships were moved to safety before the attack, only those destined for the scrap yard were left to be destroyed.
The 9-11 attack: a second Pearl Harbor? On Thursday, 01 August 2002.
On December 7, 2001, U.S. President George W. Bush commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the Japanese attack against Pearl Harbor, which killed over 2,400 U.S. Marines, and drew a parallel between this attack in 1941 and the September 11, 2001 attack on New York City, saying that in both cases, the U.S.A. did not ask for war, but was first provoked by a foreign enemy.
It could very well be that Bush was right in more than one way to say that the September 11 attack is “a second Pearl Harbor,” for it would seem that both attacks were allowed to happen to infuriate the Americans and to shift the public opinion in favor of an all-out war against the enemy. This is a serious accusation, but as Michael Rivero reports it in his website, whatreallyhappened.com, it's the oldest trick in the book, dating back to Roman times; creating the enemies you need. And history shows plenty of examples when people used that trick, the most known being the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.
