I agree with Fordy. It wasn't a conspiracy. It was a no-brainer based on calculated acts.
Where I think a lot of people make the mistake is that they try to apply today's attitudes and access to information to things that happened 70 years ago.
I'll be honest. I think FDR will eventually be shown as the bastard that destroyed America. But based on Fordy's (correct) statement that War was inevitable, despite the level to which I despise FDR, it wasn't a conspiracy.
The larger question is why we allowed China to be taken over by Communists after spending money and lives to fight and ultimately kick the Japanese off of the Asian Continent.
