No one is forgetting, but this action, however deploarable, still doesn't diminish what this country did for the world 60 years ago. This probably should have been in the political threads.

My mother and uncles left those camps to serve in our military. To love a country that much that has treated you that poorly is commendable.

This good, red blooded, Conservatives, believes the internment of Japanese Americans was a good idea that should now be used on Muslims living in the US.

Agreed and God bless them and what they did for their country. We owe them thanks. Let's let go of the rancor. Sabro, your broad brush statements about "conservatives" is every bit as intolerant and divisive as what you criticize. Good night.

And by the way Malkin is Filipino-American.

Oops... typo. I was identifying the author... a Philipino-American as a Conservative... the "s" is there by mistake. She is also a frequent contributor to Fox News and syndicated Conservative columnist.

It wasn't meant as a broad brush statement about anything... just referring to the reason we got off into a discussion of the justifiability of racial internment in the same terms that this author refers to herself.

She can be Filipino-American and entirely wrong with her justifications for racism as well...

I did not mean to imply that "Conservatives" justify internment by race (or religion.)

I apologize.

We could all learn a little from this. My son, a 15 yo, introduced me to this song. I was touched.

My family was in the Gila River camp in Arizona. We visited a few years back and almost nothing remains. Even the memorial to the war veterans was vandalized and the bronze stolen for scrap.

My mother was 16 years old and graduated high school there. She was shipped off to work as a domestic for a family and then joined the Waves. I had an article about her from a boston paper procaliming her "Our Navy's Highest Ranking Jap." She worked as a ward and surgical nurse for the oral maxilary surgeon... Worked with regular dental stuff and with GI's that were wounded in the face.

Sabro, if you haven't seen it yet you MUST get your hands on Ken Burns' WWII. He goes into what happened to the Japanese Americans and really goes into the 442nd. It was so touching and made me so proud, I sat there wishing I was Japanese American as I watched that part. He interviews guys from the 442nd and did a really good interview with Sen. Daniel Inouye, who was in Hawaii at the time of Pearl Harbor. You really need to see it and so do your kids.

Absolutely-

I love Ken Burns and History. (I can't believe I haven't seen this yet.)
