 What they won't point out is that a Japanese attack on U.S. forces is precisely what Roosevelt wanted and had instigated.

Roosevelt knew that the American people were overwhelmingly opposed to entry into World War II. That's because American intervention into World War I had proven to be so disastrous. In World War I, President Wilson had sent tens of thousands of American men to their deaths with a dual aim: making the world "safe for democracy" and to finally bring an end to all war.
