They must have been political would seem that we are to think that the Japanese thought that they could beat the Americans in a war. Perhaps the Germans who were their ally gave them some sort of guarantee fro attacking the US fleet as they did declare war on the US directly after the Attack. I guess the real reason for this will probably never be known as there was no way that the Japs were stupid enough to think that they could beat the Americans in a war.
