Excellent Book

When the Emperor was Divine

Every American should read this book...NOW. This is an excellent book. It is about Japanese internment camps from WWII in Utah. You see, the fatal flaw of America is every time our country is in harm's way we lash out viciously at some minority group in our country and attempt to destroy them. Civil War: blacks looking for jobs who had been freed; Post-Civil War: Indians in the way of our taking land; WWI: anyone who disagreed with war; WWII: Japanese Americans; Korean War: Communists; Vietnam War: student protesters; High inflation in 1980s: all poor people; Post 9/11: Mexican Americans.

When will we learn to stop doing this to ourselves and our people?

Um, never. It's a tried and true method. Why screw with what works?
