One area we may disagree is over the internment of American citizens of Japanese descent during WWII. The Supreme Court approved it. The government did it. I support it.

FDR's internment order was based on intercept intelligence that Japanese, including Japanese-Americans, in the U.S. were committing acts of espionage, and that there were plans for them to commit sabotage once war broke out. There was no way to round up only the guilty ones without arousing suspicions that we had broken the Japanese cyphers.

I think it was a wise move as well. That is not what this poster was suggesting though. A side complication is it was easier to tell a Japanese by sight. How do you do that with a Muslim without some sort of Inquisition and without disregarding the First Ammendment?
