There was a prior attack on a boat in the ocean that they knew was by the Japanese‚ but the commander just sent fighter pilots to shoot them down‚ and did nothing following this event. I believe that we made the right decision in not preventing the Japanese from attacking Pearl Harbor‚ because this gave us a reason for entry into World War II. After
