I have no problem with what Roosevelt did. They started the war and got exactly what was coming to them.

Carter rounded up 1000’s of Iranians in the 70’s when the “students” in Iran took over our Embassy and held it for over 400 days while that f’n peanut farmer sat around with his thumb up his ass. The only good thing he did was ship the Iranians back home. I thought we should have locked all of them up until our Embassy was released.

If we were attacked by a foreign power I would do what Roosevelt did in a heartbeat.

I'm sick and tired of revisionists, trying to apply today's standards to things that were done in the past. It is a concerted effort to bring us to "Year Zero", which is precisely what the Khmer Rouge did.

"They started the war and got exactly what was coming to them."

You need to educate yourself on who really started the war between the U.S. and Japan. A good start would be John Toland's two volume set entitled, "The Rising Sun". They are considered by scholars to be the definitive book on the origins of that war.

Hint. Pearl Harbor was not the beginning of the war as our children were taught and still are taught. One has to go back to the U.S. intervention in the Japanese-China war on mainland China in the late 1930's to understand the real origins of that war.

Next, you should study the undeclared (but real) economic war the U.S. initiated against Japan prior to Pearl Harbor. We attempted to strangle Japans economic and military capabilities by cutting off their strategic sources of petroleum, steel and other vital materials.

Japan only reacted to our aggressive strangulation of their economy and empire. They fought a defensive war in reaction to U.S. actions.

Japanese-Americans did not start the war. They were simply victims of it. Many Japanese-Americans fought on our side in Europe.

Please learn the facts rather than spout misinformation, even though the majority of Americans believe the same untruths as you. Vast multitudes of uninformed or misinformed people do not create truth.
