The Pearl Harbor raid destroyed military targets

Not exactly. One of my friends was there at the time as a civilian. He told me that many non-combatants were injured and killed by Japanese bombs which hit areas outside of the military installations. I beg to differ with your opinion about the raid. The Doolittle raid was quite a feat of tactics for those days; it demonstrated that the Japanese homeland was not immune from the war which the Japanese started.
