re: #13 Destro

You’re really content with rephrasing the same argument over & over? Then please allow me to do the same. *ahem*

In World War 2, America put pretty much the entire Japanese-American population of the west coast in interment camps. The US government didn’t know that Imperial Japan’s spies and saboteurs in America were all Caucasians. But I can understand why FDR and company would deny an entire race their civil rights.

“Thats not the same thing at all” you say? Be honest, whats the fundamental difference other than a matter of degree? Both are judging an entire racial and/or religious group guilty until proven innocent, and denying them their rights, just because they believe that someone amongst them might be a threat.

You say “country to country sensativities sensitivities,” I say “cognitive dissonance.”

Do you really want to keep this going back and forth until one of us gets sick of it and walks away? Or are you ready to admit that Europe is just as f**ed-up as America, only in different ways? And that any notion of either being more enlightened than the other is little more than nationalist and/or otherwise narcissistic dick-measuring?
