Seems to me that Pearl Harbor was a great military victory. Sucks that we lost, but I don't hold the attack itself against the Japanese.

Well, I'm dead set against unprovoked sneak attacks on the American military. The Japanese get a pass because of pre-emptive tactics? No.
We didn't "lose" that battle because we didn't know it was one. Furthermore, wasn't the goal to knock US capabilites out of action? It didn't work since we came roaring back and kicked their asses. Can't be called a victory if it failed in the mission.
