A foreign military's bombs were intended as a prelude to invasion or destruction of the entire military capacity. A terrorist attack is a prelude to ... nothing much.

I don't think Japan was interested in destroying our entire military capacity, just enough to get us out of the Pacific. It wasn't a radically dissimilar aim than Al Qaeda's goal to get us out of the Islamic world, though just about everything else about the two events was different.

As for a terrorist attack being "a prelude to ... nothing much", you know there was a first World Trade Center bombing, right?
