Well, I didn't think I was starting a thread on FDR... Thought I was recognizing a horrible day in our country's history....

But, if a thread on FDR is called for...

Faced with a depression economy and a world war, what would you have done differently ?

As far as the Japanese internment goes, are you also aware that Germans and Italians were also rounded up and spirited away... I know many Italian-Americans were locked up on Ellis Island for the duration, I think the Germans were there too, not sure on that though...and a much greater population of Japanese-Americans were locked up then the Germans or Italians, but it is really a whole lot easier to spot a Japanese-American than it is to spot just another white guy....

Faced with the same predicament, what would you do differently ?? Please note that after 9/11, the current administration adopted the same tactics if not with the same intensity....
