Professor Fred Pearson, director of Wayne State University's Center for Peace and Conflict Studies, talked with Channel 20 reporter Dave Leval about comparisons between the Dec. 7 Pearl Harbor attack that launched the U.S. into World War II, and the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Pearson said though both tragic events were similar in terms of direct attacks on the U.S., distinct differences are clear regarding the aggressors. The 9/11 attack was led by Al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization; and the Dec. 7 Pearl Harbor attack was engineered by a nation - Japan. (Video not available)
