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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
