How did the attack on Pearl Harbor relate to the Spanish American war?
It didn't. The Spanish American War was almost half a century before World War II and had nothing whatsoever to do with Hawaii. Michael Montagne In the recent book "Flyboys" (highly recommended) the author makes some interesting connections between European/Western imperialism and the Japanese imperialism that led up to World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. During the Spanish-American War the US kicked the imperialist Spanish out of the Americas, but in some ways, replaced it with an American brand of imperialism. The Japanese believed they were exercising the same sort of power over their own backyard in Asia.
Why did the US Navy believe that a full-scale attack against Pearl Harbor was impossible?
The US Navy closed its eyes to recent indications that air power had rendered surface ships highly vulnerable. The Navy clung to an old world idea that for an attack to be successful it must come from the sea or the land. Even after Peal Harbor a landing was expected from the Japanese. In two years they had learned nothing from the air raids on England and the dominance of air power in that region. No doubt this same thinking resulted in the casual dismissal of radar warnings of approaching aircraft. Even after all this the US Navy was slow to appreciate the advantage of radar, as shown in some of the battles around Guadalcanal.

What is most important factor for democracy to be effective in the US?
I think the most important thing is to have people understand the history and how government works. This comes through education and in recent years history/government hasn't been taught in schools. People also need to understand the truth of history compared to the legends that are made into history. I think we need to decide what makes good government and use that philosophy as a foundation for elections and canadates.
