From our treatment of Native Americans over the past 400 years to the internment of American citizens of Japanese origin during the war, and the lies that took us into Iraq where uncountable numbers of civilians were killed... etc, etc, it just goes on and on. And many people do not like to be reminded of such subjects, as they are rather at odds with the American Dream.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-54351995399531343492012-06-13T03:54:15.593-07:002012-06-13T03:54:15.593-07:00There is a wonderful movie about the subject whose...There is a wonderful movie about the subject whose name I can't recall and I can't even remember who the director was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783877262954668959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-79354176546175510072012-06-12T19:04:58.955-07:002012-06-12T19:04:58.955-07:00Interesting.

Then the lies to the Supreme Court; more recently the lies to the UN. Then Japanese internment camps; now Guantanamo Bay. The xenophobic thrust against immigrants continues to rage. Sigh.

The Japanese internment has always been a dark spot in history in my opinion, but I know that many that lived during that age don't agree, it is still a touchy subject.
