Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"Until we were attacked at Pearl Harbor we had done our utmost to live as friendly self-respecting neighbors of the Japanese in the Pacific."

"I hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of War to designate the Commanding General, United States Army Forces, Pacific Ocean Areas, as the military commander within the meaning of the act of March..."

"Wherever our boys in the services go, they are welcomed not only as liberators but as good friends."

"This year, more than ever, we need the friendly aid and assistance of all these great humanitarian agencies for our fighting forces."
