Why do you think that is? Maybe because they both happened to us?
In part, yes. Patriotism isn't something to be ashamed of IMO.
But also in part that they were both unprovoked attacks on people who had in no way had attacked them first.

While this is true, Pearl Harbor targeted military while 9/11 and the atomic bombs primarily targeted civilians. We have been present in the Middle East since the 80's, so I really can't say that we hadn't in some way attacked the terrorist groups that carried out 9/11. Granted, they are terrorists, we should be taking action against them. But from their screwed up view we were aggressors.
