The real difference is 9/11 was an attack by a group of terrorist who wish to make the USA and its people cower and obey what they want. Pearl Harbor was meant to be a first strike for a war between two countries. (the Japanese ambassador failed to deleiver the war message to the US in time).

There are as many similarities as there are differences.
While both were cowardly attacks using our own industry against us, at least Pearl Harbor was a Military Base.
The World trade Center was [obviously] not.
As someone else pointed out, Japan is a country, Al Queda is not.
After Pearl Harbor, the U.S. went after the perpetrator, After 911 we went after an old, uninvolved adversary on a "personal" vendetta.
The differences, and the similarities go on, and on.

The result of Pearl Harbor was war with Japan. The result of 911 is a war against terrorism. As soon as I saw the 2nd plane hit the towers, I said "this is war" This war is just harder to fight because terrorism is everywhere. And while many object to this "war on terrorism" just remind yourself, do you really want to live in a place like Iraq (just one of many) where the bombs are going off every second....I know i don't.

Not quite sure what elements you are looking for here.
I guess, in my mind, one difference is the world was in war during the Pearl Harbor attack, 9/11/01, there were no world wars happening.
The biggest difference to me, is that Japan attacked a military base, where the WTC Attack was aimed at civilians, and a large number at that. It was also civilians attacking civilians.

9/11 did not happen in a time of open war, and Pearl Harbor remains a military target, whereas 9/11 hit symbolic targets.
