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 that computers have the potential to 'inflict' a little
harm on a lot of people outside of the military arena.  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
