Talk politics.

How does it refute the idea of political devotion being an undesireable and unhealthy thing in general? Is it less dangerous to have one's critical thinking clouded by feelings wounded in the wake of a national tragedy? How does that earn a pass? I'm perfectly willing to accept Reagan is not the patron saint that some segment of conservatives believe him to be, but I don't believe there's any reason Roosevelt should come out smelling any sweeter because he was President when Pearl Harbor happened. Nor do I believe that because 9/11 happened when Bush was president that he gets a pass for the numerous criticisms which have been rightly layed at his feet, and comparing bad-with-bad, one can certainly see a comparable level of it between internment camps and Guantanamo Bay.
