The Committees were APPOINTED.
Evasion. If the entire civil gov't and the military were against such action, a man who inherited the Presidency would never have appointed it. "Gee, my first day in office. Why don't I start by pissing EVERYBODY off?"

I never said I was a Canadian
Are you? A simple yes or no will suffice. Anything else will be considered more evasion.

Possession of nuclear power plants does not make a nation a nuclear power. You know that. We all know that.

But the fact still remains that innocent people were murdered
Yeah, people get killed in wars. "Innocent people" too. Get used to it.

But because of religion they did not.
An appallingly inadequate excuse. Did they expect special consideration from the people they had started a war with because they were Shinto. Why, then, was the US not entitled to special consideration, particularly on Dec. 7, 1941, because it is primarily Christian?

We are discussing the American choice; as that is the one that was active rather than passive
1. Their choice in continuing to prosecute the war against the US was certainly an active choice.
2. Their choice on Dec. 7, 1941 was appallingly active.
Cut the crap. They had a choice and made it. And took the consequences.
