Just imagine President Roosevelt shaming and condemning Americans for their outrage and anger by suggesting that Emperor Hirohito and his cabinet of imperial war lords don’t reflect the values of the vast majority of otherwise peaceful Japanese citizens, and that expressing such outrage and anger will only hurt their feelings and make them madder at us. Further still, imagine Roosevelt flinging open the borders and demanding that Americans be disarmed – particularly those on the West Coast. This is utter madness.
