Bush gave Saddam 48 hours to get out of the country, its true. But Saddam was not going and this was an assassination attempt on Saddam not an attack on its counties Armed Forces. Under a US law its illegal unless in war but can you determine if we were at war or not ? This is very different form Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were lying and making the US think that they wanted to negotiate peace. While they just attacked deliberately without any warning and any notification. We gave Iraq 3 months warning and they knew that we had forces in Kuwait and they knew they had 48 hours to end the war.
Japan never gave us a warning never gave us a deadline and sneaked their faces in striking range totally opposite to what the US did.

did you hear about the US buying some Russian cruise missiles? Russian air planes are definitely on par or better than US planes, except for the Raptor. Again if Pak-Fa comes out, this can change also. Also russian SAMS are tops..
BTW, Russian space program is also ahead of the US in many regards. Of course, overall no one can match the US.
Where does mother russia get the money to design and test all of these wonder weapons with an economy like theirs?
Until other nations have stealth aircraft speed and maneuverability is not worth much.
