joe, i have never disagreed with you before, but your comment can be applied to all cultures...

i am certainly not easily equated to a liberal, but i cannot understand doubting my coworkers and friends... people born and raised in north america... who love everything that this land represents and despise the acts of terror that occurred yesterday.

the immorality and justification behind this horrific act is what should be hated imo.

I am sure that the very same hatred and disregard for human life can be attained with the right brainwashing from birth when applied to religious battles in ireland, diplomatic battles in Korea or tribal wars in rowanda. History is full of examples.

i hope that you can accept my opinion on this as my perspective and not the rants of a bleeding heart liberal Joe. We are allowed to disagree on issues, and continue to respect one anothers opinions.

Joe,

I am an ultra-conservative and proud of it. I believe in the constitution as the founding fathers meant for it to be interpreted. All men are created equal and their rights will not be abridged without due process of law.

Don't call yourself a conservative. I don't want to be associated with anyone who holds those kind of racist views.

<Why did we round up all the Japanese?> Paranoia and war hysteria.

"It is now generally recognized that the removal of over 100,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast during World War II and their internment in so-called "relocation centers" was not motivated by legitimate security needs; rather, historians agree, the Roosevelt Administration's policy both developed from and fanned anti-Japanese racism in this country. The U.S. government itself has apologized for its wartime actions that, as one presidential commission retrospectively concluded, constituted "a grave injustice ... to American citizens and resident aliens of Japanese ancestry."(2)

"on February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the forcible internment of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry. More than two-thirds of those interned under the Executive Order were citizens of the United States, and none had ever shown any disloyalty."
