An excuse to go to war against Japan sure, Germany was a different story and it wasnt a given that war against Japan also meant unrestricted war against Germany. Your welcome to argue what Roosevelt might have wanted to do but it doesnt matter, it was Germany that declared war not the other way around.

There's a difference between not wanting to go to war and not wanting to be the aggressor. The US elite wanted to go to war, but they didn't want to initiate it because there were too many protectionists with influence.... So they waited.
