i need help comparing pearl harbor to 911 or some other big event in the usa?

Answer 1

The Japanese pilots at Pearl Harbor were not suicide pilots. The idea of Kamikaze did not arise until much later in the war, in mid-1944. The pilots who flew the mission at Pearl returned to the aircraft carriers they came from, and were celebrated in Japan as military heroes. Out of a Japanese attack force of almost 600, only 27 planes were lost.

In comparing Pearl and September 11, the best comparison may be that the leaders of the US government knew the attacks were coming and didn't stop them because it fit their agendas to allow the attacks to take place.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt because he needed a catalyst to bring the US into World War II; George Bush because he needed a catalyst to start the "War on Terror."

I will concur that for the vast majority of people in the United States, the attacks did come as a surprise.

Answer 2

When Pearl Harbor was attacked, The US was totally stunned, and totally unprepared for the Japanese Pilots who were on a suicide mission. (Their planes could not hold enough gas to get them back to home, so they were considered a dead person when they began the flight. Given top honors from Japan for giving their lives for their Country. on 911, it was a regular day, and regular people went to work and school and no one expected anything unusual to happen. it DID. Our County was attacked and done so, AGAIN, with Suicide pilots attacking us. The pilots did not expect to come out of this alive. They KNEW they were dead men when they started the plane up. (That sounds a lot like Pearl Harbor to me).
