Never Forget - E.O. 9066
Sixty two years ago, one of the "greatest" Presidents of our nation with one stroke of the pen authorized the wartime relocation of Japanese Americans to various internment camps in the United States -- it has been rationalized as protecting AJAs and also to calm the unfounded feelings of the general public that these people with Asian faces were untrustworthy enemies of the state
In this era of Patriot Acts and Guantanamo, it is important to remember that the ENEMY is not just a face, color of skin, an accent, a sexual preference, a religious follower, a national origin, or any other basis for feeling that an American citizen like you or I is the enemy and somehow deserves unequal and unjust treatment because they are different.
One Nation, Very Diverse -- pray for the protection of our troops abroad, the wisdom of our leaders, and a calming of the fears in our hearts
