   And that's how it should be.    But there are other terms of engagement.  In   
   a world where mass communication has radicalized people who never set foot in   
   the Middle East, that needs to be accounted for as well.   
      
   But we can't be like we were in WW2.   In those days there was plenty of   
   propaganda going around on both sides.   Dr. David Suzuki's family had their   
   property confiscated and were sent to live in a camp with all the other west   
   coast Canadians of Japanese heritage, some were several generations in as   
   bona fide citizens, not immigrants..   Meanwhile, people of German or Italian   
   heritage didn't suffer the same treatment.   That's the reason why you don't   
   see Japanese communities in our cities like you see little Italies or China   
   Towns.   
      
   We can't go after the Muslims like Hitler went after the Jews.    But the   
   fear mongering from the US right is about that in the end.
