Pearl Harbor was an attack by one government on another. It had a military objective (to destroy the U.S. Pacific fleet, so we could not be a factor in the war.) 911 was merely a terrorist act intended to kill, demoralize, frighten and terrorize people.

America filed a Declaration of War with Congress to defeat a definite enemy, is the difference. Pearl Harbor was a military installation to begin with.

Pearl harbor was a military target. Civilians were killed during 9/11. And more people died on 9/11.

Pearl Harbor was primarily an attack on an important military installation that was designed to cripple our Navy in the Pacific and open up the way for Japan to invade the US mainland.
9/11 was an attack on civilians and civilian landmarks.
Edit - Now why did I get a thumbs down for that? Come on thats the most basic and non-partisan answer anyone could give.

Pearl Harbor wasn't intended to rile the nation as it was directed at a military target. With 9/11 you had a government that had already drafted war plans and said that they needed "Another Pearl Harbor" to implement them.
I guess the administration just got "lucky" that the brother of Bush's first business partner (Saleen bin Laden) happened to attack us while daddy Bush was watching the attack with other members of the bin Laden family.

Pearl harbor was an open attack by a proud nation towards another one, and it was a military attack on military target.
911 was an attack by a band of cowards that killed innocent civilians, all mind you in the name of a God.
