I never compared it to the Nazi concentration camps.  There was little
difference however in the way we seized the property of Japanese
Americans/Canadians and the way the Nazis did the Jews.  Both illegal
acts were "legitimized", sponsored and orchestrated by the State.  And
all were just as immoral.

Amazing isn't it??  Now there's a contingent of "brave" and "proud"
American "yahoo's" advocating we do the exact same thing to legitimate
citizens that happen to be of Arab descent (and a couple here that want
to "spread the net" to include all "dot heads" too).  What's next??
White sheets and burning crosses!!
