The US was shocked and horrified at the lighting-fast collapse of France, our old WWI ally and then the world's 2nd largest empire.
It was then said that the US set about enacting a policy of provoking Japan to attack the US as a way for the US to enter the war.
> "For a long time I have believed that our best entrance into the war would be by way of Japan." -- Harold Ickes, Sec. of the Interior, October 1941.
Journalist and WWII Navy vet Robert Stinnett researched the beginning of the war for decades. He uncovered the "McCollum memo" with a freedom of info act. The memo was from an American naval intelligence officer who was born in Japan, an officer who was the US Navy's liaison messenger between the White House and the Navy Dept. The memo listed 8 steps for the US to do to force Japan to attack the US.
The US did all 8 steps! Among those steps were moving the US Pacific Fleet HQ from San Francisco to the small backwater navy base in Hawaii. That move was so controversial that the secretary of the Navy resigned in protest of the move.
Stinnett's book, linked below, is must reading for anyone interested in this conspiracy theory.
> "Japan was provoked into attacking America at Pearl Harbor. It is a travesty of history to say that America was forced into the war." -- Oliver Lyttleton, British Minister of Production, 1944. The book "Day of Deceit" proves that the US carried out a deliberate, successful policy to provoke Japan into attacking the US so the US could enter WWII.

All four of your arguments against laissez-faire are also arguments against government intervention. The state is a monopoly; market failures are the exception in the economic market but the rule in the political market; the government often fails at internalizing externalities and creates new negative externalities; and voters are even more irrational than consumers.
