That depends on precisely what you mean by Pearl Harbor. If you mean a surprise attack by naval air forces of the Japanese specifically on the military facility at Pearl Harbor, then I think it highly unlikely. Even if Japan were mad at us right now, we have intelligence gathering devices today which would make a fleet of heavy warships centered on six aircraft carriers crossing the North Pacific look like a Saint Patrick's Day parade.
On the other hand, if you just mean a surprise attack, they happen every day, for example in Iraq, with casualties - not as many as Pearl Harbor, which had well over 2000 killed - but one dead, whether American or Iraqi, is too many.
And if you mean a surprise attack on the scale of Pearl Harbor, I think the attacks on the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon in 2001 qualify easily, with over 3000 dead and we never saw it coming.

What event catapulted the US into World War 2?
They didn't want to involve themselves with a war that was none of their business - joining the war would've meant spending a lot of money on resources, putting the US back into recession. The only reason America did eventually join the war was due to retaliation - they wanted revenge for the December 7th Pearl Harbor attacks in 1941. Great Britain, Canada, Australia, France, and other allied nations were already fighting in Europe and Africa as early as 1939.
Were there any positives after attack on Pearl Harbor?
Gave the US an excuse to intervene on the side of Britain again set the Nazi's. it effectively took away the arguments of the isolationists that wanted to keep the nation out of the war. If FDR didn't have Pearl Harbor as an excuse, well, they would have called him a warmonger! I don't know if congress would have even approved a declaration of war without an event to win American hearts and minds to the cause.
