If Japan had declared war or delivered some forceful ultimatum before instigating any attack against any US locale, I don't think we'd look at it in quite the same way that we do today.
Next time, get someone who can type faster.

It's been interesting to see all of the research being put into the midget subs. They are so often just a minor footnote in the attack. I think it would make a great movie, the story of those 5 midget suba and their fates. (Not hollywood produced as they would ruin it)
