Cindy,
I don't think Don was trying to justify the treatment of  Jap-Am during
WWII.  He was stating what did happen.  And these folks were not the only
ones to lose homes, businesses, and families during wars, but it is shameful
of the "resons" why.  These same families in internment camps probably had
sons in Pearl Harbor, fighting FOR the US.
Hopefully , we have grown up some and can tell the difference between enemy
and friend....that is always a challenge, isn't it?
