Personally, Khazadman, I don't see any of this as very funny. One of the ideas behind having a Holocaust Awareness week is to keep the horror of genocide alive and kicking in world conciousness. Already we've seen how ineffective this has been.
I bring this up because if what you say is true and FDR did in fact use detainment as a strategy during WWII then there is precedent for a great deal to happen. We had our own concentration camps here, including one in Colorado that went by the name of Manzanar. I'd rather not see Muslims or anyone else herded into camps to prevent terrorism. There has to be a way to make a few sacrifices with out sacrificing hundreds.
