Can we discuss this matter today?

Reader comment on item: Why the Japanese Internment Still Matters

Submitted by Jason Pappas (United States), Jan 3, 2005 at 13:34

It seems clear to me that the issue is still not understood. Nor is there an honest attempt at discussion. The WWII internment is generally distorted and elevated in importance by those who want to create a moral equivalence between America and our past enemies. The conclusion is generally accepted prior to any investigation and it takes a courageous commentator to address this issue in the current environment. My congrats to Mr. Pipes.
