Your Dec. 27 Maine Compass by David Alexander, titled “Lessons of Japanese internment,” was a history lesson not shown to many students in America. But also not shown to many students in Japan is the story of Pearl Harbor.
While Alexander’s article slowly creeps into suggesting that Muslims may be interned next, he misses the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, in which more than one Arab country was involved, and yet Americans did not panic as they did in 1941.
America has grown up since 1941 and doesn’t need the writer’s false predictions.
