OT No, "internnment of Japanese americans was NOT ok during the war." It joins the destruction of Native American life, slavery, and segregation/racial discrimination as the worst black marks on American history. It was on Roosevelts watch, but it was a very difficult watch. "Disregarding the cries of European Jewry..." is something I know a little more about. Roosevelt believed that Americans would not support our entry into the war if they thought the reason was to help Jews. Jewish leaders, who knew that the Holocaust was occurring, were afraid that large scale protests and civil disobedience in support of gaining government help for European Jews, would bring out anti-semitic violence against the American Jewish community. Yes, Truman dropped the ABomb. Truman was the opposite of Bush and Ashcroft. He was an honest, decent man who placed the interests of the American people first. I would like to believe that he felt he was saving American lives. I think history has demonstrated that he was probably wrong.
