Why was Pearl Harbor attack such a shock to the United States?
Some of their beliefs were due to racial prejudice against Japanese and Chinese people. A few Americans tried to tell the President and Congress that the Japanese had the capability to attack Hawaii and the mainland of the U.S., but these people were ignored until Dec. 7, 1941. That is why the attack was such a shock.

During the three conferences on the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons in 2013 and 2014, it was demonstrated that the risks of a nuclear weapon detonation, whether by accident, miscalculation or design, stem notably from: the vulnerability of nuclear weapon command-and-control networks to human error and cyberattacks
Can a fully autonomous weapon be used to attack?
The decision to deploy a fully autonomous weapon is not equivalent to the decision to attack, and at the moment of making a determination to attack, such a weapon would not only be out of the control of a human being exercising his or her own judgment, but also unable to exercise genuine human judgment itself (see Contention #12).
Can We address the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons?
No state or international body could address, in an appropriate manner, the immediate humanitarian emergency nor the long-term consequences of a nuclear weapon detonation in a populated area, nor provide appropriate assistance to those affected.
Could fully autonomous weapons violate international humanitarian law?
Rebuttal: The difficulty of programming human traits such as reason and judgment into machines means that fully autonomous weapons would likely be unable to comply reliably with international humanitarian law.
