I don't think they are so clever as they are being portrayed.

I point wasn't about Pearl Harbor. My point was you are underestimating today's enemy. We underestimated the japanese also. Just as some Japanese leaders were educated at our universities, these Islamic fanatics aren't dope addicts robbing banks to get buy more crack.

They're also willing to die to kill you.

The stereotypical picture of a small, emaciated Japanese pilot , wearing glasses whose lenses were the thickness of the bottoms of Coke bottles, grasping the stick of his bamboo-and-rice-paper airplane (the design was probably stolen from the U.S., too) did not persist for long after the war began. The first American aircrews to return from combat knew that they had faced some of the world's most experienced combat pilots equipped with some pretty impressive airplanes.
