WWII - Do you mean the Japanese or the UBoat attack?

The Japanese. The U-Boat attack was our BS excuse to get involved in WWI. America violated our neutrality agreement and was sending arms to England in the Lucitania (A cruise ship that had been converted from a war ship) and was sunk. Edward Mandal House pushed us into WWI.
The Japanese attacked us because we cut off their oil supply and put other trade embargos on them. They attacked in retaliation and we knew they were coming (we moved all of our expensive aircraft carriers out to sea on "exercises" on December 6th, 1941 so only the old and less expensive ships were attacked...see rainbow 5)
Al Queda was responsible for attacking us, and Afghanistan (which was ruled by the Taliban) harbored and protected them. They stood in our way rather than turning over the criminals who blew up the WTC on 9/11. So yes, the attack in Afghanistan was justified, but was a failure because we didn't get Bin Laden. This was a major reason in why Bush violated the Constitution and international law by attacking Iraq. He wanted to take attention away from his MANY failures as a president including his failure to get Bin Laden.
