The Nanny state to our south

The U.S. wasn't that much better.

I guess I missed the part in the history books where the U.S. rounded up 11 million people and gassed them to death.

That sort of hyperbole doesn't help.

No, the U.S. government just nuclear bombed two big Japanese cities killing untold amounts of innocents when it really didn't need to. It also "interned" innocent Japanese American's. There is also plenty of evidence that the U.S. government encouraged the Japanese government into attacking Pearl Harbor and let it happen. Nope, didn't round up 11 million and put them in camps, but that doesn't mean the U.S. government was a freedom fighting force either. They had their share of innocent blood on their hands. Definitely NOT hyperbole.

Isn't it strange how this part of history, (putting Japanese Americans in camps), is so conveniently "not mentioned" anymore?  I'm glad you made these points Porcupine, I think they're excellent! 

Lets not even go into what happened to the Native Indians.
