Will France change the way America changed after the Pearl Harbor bombings.

They say that history repeats itself. Today I was thinking about when America wanted to stay clear of a war and was drawn into it as a result of the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and invading the Philippines. American attitude changed, public attitude and actions became focused as being being a part of the war effort. Big business stopped manufacturing for the public and began manufacturing to support the military. Individuals became focused on what they could do to help the war effort metal drives, paper drives, .... The public tolerated restrictions on Japanese Americans, German Americans, and Italian Americans. America officially declared war on the Axis powers. We changed our policy about becoming involved in world conflicts and quit the policy of isolationism.

France had been trying to take the high ground with regards to it's foreign policy in known terrorist regions. "Hollande’s Syria strategy was caught between Putin’s offensive and Obama’s reluctance. He had chosen the high moral ground, refusing to associate either with a brutal regime or a bloody opposition, but this was not necessarily the most practical option in a situation that involves choosing the least bad option rather than the best one."

France has been riding the fence with it's foreign policy with regards to the Assad/Hamas arrangement and in it's view on Israel and Palestine.
"just a week before the attacks, France caved in to Palestinian demands and backed their UN Security Council resolution calling not for a negotiated peace agreement that would take into account Israeli security concerns along with Palestinian conditions, but rather for a full Israeli withdrawal to the pre- 1967 lands within three years."

Since the bombings in France his position has changed and he is now saying that ISIS is the enemy and France's response will be merciless.

The bombing in France will undoubtedly change their citizen's position on involvement in Syria and in the fight against ISIS. France is experiencing National Unity at this time the same as the U.S. experienced after the Pearl Harbor bombing and the 9/11 attacks.

Already we see the reports of France's airstrikes on ISIS positions.
