I am sick of people using examples of America’s worst moments to judge our country. Would you want someone to judge your life based on your worth four or five worst moments? No. You Judge based on the positive acts against their worst.
Yes our Gov’t did round up Japanese people durring WWII. Bad things happen durring war. We were fighting a brutal enemy and HAD TO WIN. Lincoln suspended certain civil rights during the civil war was this just as wrong? Most governments in history have done things considered immoral.
Did these governments do these things to WIN the war and STOP horrible atrocities or try to use brutal atrocities to enslave people? I argue it was far worse to lose our war against Japan and Germany than our infringemnent of civil rights. Fighting aginst brutal dictatorships is worthwhile.
Protecting civil rights and losing this war would have been catastrophic. If we had lost the defeat would end ALL your civil rights including your right to live. We should be very cautious in allowing the infringment of civil liberties by gov’t.
Our rights are to protect against tyranny and oppression. These rights are best used to fight to preserve life and liberty. So being locked up unjustly to defeat the axis powers and loss of EVERY FREEDOM is sadly a unfortunate cost of war. Do the Soldiers complain about the fact they give up some rights to be in the military?
It is worth it to temporarily lose their freedoms to protect the freedom of all our citizens. We used internment to protect our citizens and ability to fight Germany and Japan. The people weren’t killed just detained.
Allowing a madman to continue to systematicly murder entire races would have been a far worse injustice. History should judge the USA on its achievments not a series of moments we aren’t proud of.
Our country has brought freedom to far more people than it ever enslaved or killed. The USA does contributes far more money and aid to humanitarian causes than most. Finally without the USA the UN than supposedly brings peace wouldn’t exist.
Check into crimes perpatrated on citizens under the guise of peace by UN soldiers.
DO YOU TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT?
NOT MANY DO!!
