As I remember it the internment of Japanese-Americans, was looked back on as a mistake. It was the interment based on race and nothing else and there was no evidence of any spying activity, etc.. by any of those interned.
I also seem to remember somthing about reviewing history in order to keep from repeating our same mistakes. So I would argue that overzealous reactionary measures might be better put on the back burner for a short period of time until the hype dies down. Afterall what has the Patriot Act achieved? >Ha, not so fast. Remember the Civil War? Lincoln suspended habeus corpus. >Remember WWII? FDR instituted Japanese-American internment camps. The govt >has always taken extraordinary measures during times of conflict. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:205924 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
