Just as I deny "the belligerent role" of President Roosevelt in the US entry into the Second World War. In both cases, the decision to start war was made by enemies of the United States.

To even attempt to compare Pearl Harbor to Fort Sumter is ludicrous on its face and removes any subatomic smidgen of credibility that you may have had.

Since it's obvious that you are an advocate of historical revisionism one has to assume that you'll be happy in your final resting place knowing that 150 years from now your progeny will be taught about the greatness and saint like qualities of 0bama.

No, Pearl Harbor is an exact analogy, as is the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, or British forts on US Northwest Territory for 30+ years before the War of 1812.
In all cases, an attack on US forces by an enemy military power was, or would be, an act of war against the United States.
In the case of those British forts, the US wisely let them be, until negotiated away in 1814.
By sharp contrast, Confederate President Davis used Fort Sumter as his excuse for foolishly launching war against the United States.

Those are simple facts, not even debatable.

Or not.
