It is very easy for you to condemn how we treated the Japanese during WW2, but back then, we were fighting a war for our very existence, and there were many Japanese spys in the U.S.

Who can say that the internments didn't help to win us the war? If we hadn't done it, there would have been major acts of sabotage in our country.

Many Americans were treated badly on 9/11. I am still waiting for Arab-Americans to change their loyalty from the Middle East to America.

Re: "I don't want to see Arabs treated the way we treated Japanese during WW2."

We may not have a choice. If Arabs in this country attack us and cause great harm, we may have to respond with internment or deportation as a matter of survival.

It would not be up to us. It would be up the the Arabs.

Make a choice:
10,000,000 American dead or deportation for all of Arab descent.
What would you choose?
