As a lot of you know, I have friends on death row, and sadly a friend of mine was executed back in July 2010... I discovered this today, and frankly, words fail me.....

USA and Japan
I've not written a post in a while, mainly because I've not been inspired by anything but I have found something that I find unfair.
A while ago, I read an article on the BBC about how after the bombing of Pearl Harbour, as many Japanese as possible were rounded up in the USA and put into very basic camps....
This startled me, as why are these people being punished for no reason whatsoever? It was essentially following the same line as the Germans (who they were fighting!), and made me think that the USA was no better than them. Ok, they weren't going around killing people, but that's not the point. They were still singling out a group of people, and placing them all together in very spartan conditions for a long period of time.
These people were treated as if they were subhumans, just the same way the Jews were. Communities turned against them, and lives destroyed.
The USA has since apologized and paid compensation, but in my opinon that's not enough. Money doesn't change the fact that the USA denounced a whole group of people in a similiar fashion to the Germans, and I am sure it goes against a lot of the rights that the Declaration of Independance laid down.
