Why did americans believe Japan would not attack on American soil?

although the Japanese government never believed it could defeat the United States, it did intend to negotiate an end to the war on favorable terms. ... It hoped that by attacking the fleet at Pearl Harbor it could delay American intervention, gaining time to solidify its Asian empire.
