In WW2 it took Pearl Harbor to get the US involved militarily (we were involved from the start economically). Perhaps had the terrorists struck at Israel or Britain or elsewhere we may not have chosen to use force. I'd like to think that we would, but it's far from certain.
As for judging the present on the past, perhaps that's fair. After all the governing laws of the US haven't changed muh in the last 6 years. But the people have. That or I just don't remember WW2 all that well.
