Speaking for myself, FDR made one of the biggest mistakes in the history of our country when he signed EO9066. It was racist and based on irrational fear and bigotry (it's possible that FDR was not, himself, a bigot, but the order is clearly racist) instead of reasonable thought.
The interesting thing is: this thread isn't about FDR. It seems like you're trying to rationalize and excuse current sins by calling on the sins of our past. That's not how it works. FDR can be wrong AND Bush can be wrong. FDR being wrong doesn't excuse or even lessen the sins of the current administration.
