I don't know enough to be sure, but the recent LA Times report of the internment of hundreds of Iranians living in America sounds a lot like the internment of Japanese Americans at the beginning of WWII. And American citizens are paying as much attention as they did in 1941.
Must we be participants in yet another injustice?
Updated 12/21/2002. Upon further reading, I don't think that the internment is on the same scale or involves the same types of rights violations as the WWII internment of the Japanese-Americans, but it is still a really stupid idea. "Dear terrorists, please present yourself for arrest and humiliation." Yeah, right. I wonder how many more terrorist sympathizers were created yesterday?
