You are simply mistaken, goodnesswins. There was no military or other justification for interning American citizens simply because they looked different. Blaming war hysteria, while convenient, is no excuse.

Interning our own citizens, who proved their loyalty hundreds of times over when they formed their own combat teams (the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, formed entirely of Japanese Americans, is the most decorated military unit on a per capita basis in American history), was against all of the principles of this country. Principles which we were fighting for in WWII, and in this war as well.

I DID NOT say it was RIGHT!!!!!!! I know about the Japanese Regiment. Interment HAPPENED....and hopefully we've learned from it....but saying we should not be very aware of who is around us based upon their race is idiotic....
