My high school term paper in history was on the premise that FDR knew about the attack.

I think you should ask Hillary Clinton to speak with the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt. I am sure she will tell her if she hasn't already.

My personal belief is that President Roosevelt was unsure how the economy would react to war after just recovering from the great depression. Although shipping in the Atlantic had become disastrous , the Pacific was still very lucrative. However, the Japanese were swiftly reducing the available trade and accessible ports. Had the Japanese not bombed Pearl Harbor, it would have been necessary to reopen trade in the Pacific by force.

Like I said before only Hillary can get these details from Eleanor's Ghost.
