As we remember the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor let us not forget we were warned of its possibly and did nothing. Incompetence, arrogance, or conspiracy, the choice is yours.

Honestly, I believe it.is even worse. According to "Stalin's Secret Agents" by M. Stanton Evans et al, Communist agents in the FDR White House (Harry Dexter White for one) purposely provoked Japan into attacking America. The purpose of this was to free up the Siberian divisions awaiting a Japanese invasion on the Asian side of the USSR - remember the Japanese had a 1-1.5 million man army in China and Manchuria. Given the earlier Russo- Japanese war of 1909 Stalin was concerned about fighting a two front war against Germany and Japan. By attacking the United States, and seizing the Phillipines and other Pacific Islands, Japan chose to drive south south instead of North, freeing up the Siberian divisions to move toward Moscow and face the Germans. This is one of many reasons things started to turn ugly for the Germans after the winter of 1941. The Russians played us like a fiddle. Infiltration has been happening for a long time.
Yes definitely, Japan very well could have been baited into the attack and Thank you for your addition!
