I don't know about 'inflicting' harm on Arab-Americans but is there anyone who doesn't believe that we might herd them up, ala the Japanese in WW2.

I think there are a lot of Israeli peace folks who could never have imagined locking up the entire Palestinian population for all but 4 hours since the war broke out -- but this seems to be a fact of life in Israel. This was from the interviews last night on NPR with the Palestinian and the Israeli -wierd things happen in war, huh? Thinking the unthinkable ... early Thom Gillespie
