E, you have completely abandoned logic. writes of the suprising "lack of sabotage by Japanese-Americans." You cite this as proof that internment was unnecessary? I will pause here while you think about it. (musical interlude. E thinking hard) Resuming now. The internment was a preventive measure. It's whole point was to prevent sabotage and espionage. You have kindly confirmed that it worked. I invited you to concede that the large J/A population on the coast presented a legitimate wartime concern. That would have facilitated discussion of how it should have been dealt with, and whether there were viable alternatives to internment. Viewing the situation through racist-colored glasses prevents you from moving off square one. Perhaps I need to read Anne Coulter's new book, "How to Talk to a Liberal." If I get sufficient insight from that, maybe we can take this up again.
