As the quote says "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

It's interesting the sense of perspective you keep using because I'm sure if you asked a German in WW2 about Hitler he would have complimented his leadership. Perspective is always an interesting thing.

You make the assumption that interning all Japanese AMERICANS during WW2 somehow helped us win. Not only does that not make sense, it has no evidence to support it. Japan lost the war due to a lack of supplies. They didn't expect such a quick retaliation because they didn't expect the workforce of America to be compensated for by women. Two front wars are hard. The US has a major advantage in terms of geography and that's been 95% of the reason we've gotten as far as we have.

Nothing like having a giant moat around 1/2 your borders, is there?

With history repeating itself, the great depression of 2008 is nearly upon us. All the signs are there! All the same the same circumstances are already repeating themselves. Are you ready?

The media paints a lovely picture and all is well. By ignoring all the signs and taking action now, we will just pay a heavier price down the road. The media continues it's biased reporting and will be subject to accountability once the public realizes what the media is doing.

While I agree things are not great financially I don't think it will be another Great Depression. I can tell you the "stimulus" package that Bush is giving us all in June is going to make things worse though.

Corrected.
