The US *democracy* has a rather silly two party system...but in POTUS becomes the president of the entire nation and seems to feel obligated to listen to the opposition as he makes policy. Or so they say or seem to appear to do, by appointments and so forth.
I am not familiar with the history of the time but it wouldn't surprise me that there was a mixed feeling about pumping the economy with war and being isolationist... and not getting involved well outside the hemisphere. An attack on the US would change the calculus.
Was FDR caught off guard? Did the generals open the way for the attack and the entrance into the war? One thing is clear though... once attacked the people were all for war.
So to draw a comparison between Pearl Harbor and 9/11 as the new Pearl Harbor, the LIHOP thesis seems to match the MO more than a staged false flag. And if it was basically a LIHOP than it's unlikely that the destruction of the towers were controlled demolitions.. unless it was believed that 4 hijacked planes hitting targets in the continental US was insufficient to inspire the population to get behind the policies for the New American Century. That's hard to know.
