      Yes, but allow a different view point. Firstly.....the USA like any country has made mistakes and by and large it has atoned for that and many other "sins". The attack on Pearl Harbor was vicuous and the camps were a reaction to NOT knowing what the Japanese people were capable of. It certainly wasn't pretty, but the country was doing what it could to protect it's national security after a brutal, unprovoked attack. Pat in several of his interviews references the fact that he is American. Pat went on to NOT be a victim of the unfortunate detainment, not constantly saying "SHAME, SHAME" but to rise above it and become more successful than most people ever even dream of. And he did it BECAUSE of the country the USA is and the opportunities it affords all who live here.

      @@frink32 so the Japanese surprise attack a military base, and we nuclear bomb two of their biggest cities?! Full of women and children. Pearl Harbor was an honorable attack because they focused on American combatants. We Americans on the other hand our two attacks were shameful and wrong. If I were Japanese I would want revenge, I admire the Japanese for their restraint.
