Rich said In WWII. we took every American of Japanese descent that we could find, and put them in internment camps. Then we went to Germany and attacked them for putting Poles and Jews into camps.

Just for the record, we didn't go to Germany and attack them for putting Poles and Jews in concentration camps. We should have, but we didn't. We went there because they were taking over Europe, and because the Japanese attacked us. The fact that we discovered the camp atrocities gave us reason in retrospect only.

The Japanese internment is also a grave injustice in retrospect. An invasion was felt to be a very real threat on the West Coast of the US. What would Japan have done had they a huge population of occidentals living on Okinawa? I suspect they might have done much worse. Our government was wrong. It was war. In any war there is suspension of rights and liberties. I suspect we will see more in the coming days.
