If FDR were alive today he would be 132 years old. The internment of the Japanese Americans was a mistake caused by mass panic that the US was about to be invaded after Pearl Harbor and some sightings of Jap subs off of the West Coast. Some Japanese served in Europe with honor. There is a huge German ethnic group in the US and they were not interned. By some strange coincidence many served against the Japanese. It would be good if more Muslims spoke out against the terrorism, but interning Muslims is not an option. By the way, FDR was a very astute politician and if he had lived in this time frame he would have had actions more in tune with the current social mores.Originally posted by GOTULSA:
Does anyone think Franklin Roosevelt would intern muslims in the United States if he were alive today, since we are at war with ISIL?
Midway, D-day, and the atomic bomb showed that we were serious about winning the war.Originally posted by BanditBacker:
I agree that Roosevelt would not do the Internment thing with Muslims as things are now. However if ISIL had a Navy and an Air Force that could and did practically blow Pearl Harbor off the map, I'm not so sure.
I disagree that Internment accomplished nothing. It showed our Enemies, and our Allies that we could and would. That we were serious about winning this War and woe be it to those who drew us into this conflict.
