28. You REALLY researched this?
Then one might think you would know that the sinking of the Lusitania did not drive the US into World War I (the boat was sunk 1915, the US entered the war in 1917). It wasn't even an American ship. If anything, the fact that the Lusitania contained military cargo was an embarrassment to the US. The Zimmerman telegram did far more to get us into that war.

Similarly, the relevance of the babies being removed from incubators in Desert Storm is questionable. That war began when Saddam invaded Kuwait, and was in a reasonable position to threaten Saudi Arabia.

I'll give you the Maine and the Gulf of Tonkin incident. These have been solidly demonstrated as fakes. Pearl Harbor has not, but I could be convinced.
