I lost my wonderful, well thought out post Allan. Anyway I have contemplated the internment issues from many angles. I have even seen essays by Japanese of the era who had the opinion that it was not completely unjustified. As you point out Japan then Vs. China now are completely different.
Anyway, FLU was more concerned of ramifications that occured circa 1980 and I don’t blame him. I don’t have confidence that the U.S.,from the upper levels of power to the blue collar guy who will go ape shit when he losses his job in the factories, is very different with regards to the tendancies you describe in your last paragraph,over the entire time frame discussed so far.

I am sure we both wish it were better.
