I didn't. I was just making a point about WWII-related guilt and how there's more than enough to go around.
Anyhoo, that's why Americans are soft on Japanese war crimes. Guilt.
Never said anything was directly comparable to anything else except in guilt-creating capacity.
Ahhh, That clarifies it.
As for the guilt; I don't think enough people even
know about the internment camps for there to be some sort of national complex about it. In the end I think it really just comes down to PR - these folks didn't have any. The POWs who survived didn't want to talk about it, China was busy falling apart, and the western powers were all getting googly-eyed about the Com-block, so it all just got swept into the backroom of history and ignored.
