After Dec. 7, '41, no one wanted to risk any further AVOIDABLE disasters. That the country's leaders in 1941 did not have our same luxury of perfect and irrefutable 20/20 hindsight must have occurred to you.

The essence of democrats is a lack of respect for individual freedom and for the idea of limited government. It was democrats who did this, I doubt the party of Lincoln would have. I think a rigorous investigation of every Japanese would have been warranted, but indiscriminate jailing was not. I think it is ok to profile the muslims and single them out for a closer look than grandma jones. But you just can not be in favor of summary internment.
