line. Ask the folks in the Bund, or anyone oriental looking how "The
Great Democrat" FDR dealt with them and 99.9% of them weren't doing
anything or were fighting their asses off for their country, this one,
while FDR interred their families.

Something to be proud of?
Quoted message said:Funny thing about that: it's the one part of FDR's era that the liberals have
repudiated and rejected while the rightwingers embrace it.

Like Greg says both parties, and their leadership are the problem. As
for giving him a free pass and still considering him a great man,
after that "one little mistake" just goes to show that the principles
involved don't really matter. It's amazing how he rounds up, locks up,
strips of their possesions massive numbers of American citizens, on
nothing but suspicion, and is still "The Great Democrat".
Even if there's no debate of his other policies that makes him one of
the worst Presidents in US history.
I'm guessing, but after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, there was
not only hatred-- and just a whole lot of plenty of it, that carries
on to this day-- but fear that Japan would strike mainland USA, aided/
abetted by spies and agents living here.
Also guessing, but things might have gone better for Japan if they'd
just gone ahead and declared war on the USA prior to Pearl Harbor. The
perception was that their diplomats' apparent deception somehow made
the Pearl Harbor attack "worse".
The blame goes to the political and military leaders who were not
prepared when the war they knew was coming arrived.
How many ships were sunk by German Uboats before coastal cities in the
USA finally went to blackout status?
From uboat.net:
<The magnitude of the disaster for the Allies, and in particular for
the United States, is in the record. During the United States first
year in the war, 1,027 Allied ships were lost to the U-boats, most of
these in the American defense zone. This number represents more than
half of all ships lost to the U-boats in the whole period of the war
from 1939 to 1945.>
Lotta ships lost and lives wasted while they were busy rounding up
"terrorists" (to put a modern perspective on it) (and slide a comment
in kinda sideways).
Simple (at least to get the ball rolling) as a phone call from the
White House.
Jane Fonda IMHO is proof you don't have to be blonde to be dumb. Dumb
dumb dumb. I saw her on Cavett or some talk show just parroting the
Party Line ("the North will negotiate if you stop bombing" IMS).
Dumber than Robert McNamara, and that's saying a ton, there.
It's funny (ha ha, not really) when my daughter expresses envy for my
growing up in the 60's-- "you had all the good music" and so forth.
Bunch of [censored], we all paid a big stupid price for it and for what? The
War Machine has repaired itself and no one will ever be held
responsible for what has been done. "Mission Accomplished" --D-y
