Locking up Americans was wrong but why is this being discussed now? Two entirely different wars in two very different times.

Go back and read the Los Angeles and San Francisco newspapers from that time. There were numerous articles about a Japanese fifth column in this country. Maybe they were all planted stories? But if they were not, Roosevelt was absolutely right to do what he did. And let's not forget: We won that war.

The main reason this war is different is that we have more than one fifth column active here now.

I'm with you. This was a national disgrace but it was over 60 years ago----let's move one.

Correction---let's move on!

Why was it wrong? We were attacked by Japan without a declaration of war. Japan had a God Emperor. Many Japanese were loyal to their God Emperor and provided information to
infiltrators that would have been detrimental to this country. This was true then especially in Hawaii. We did not shoot or gas them, FDR simply put them somewhere where they could not hurt us. Not fair? Oh well, lots of things are not!
