A friend of mine recently asked if I would ever go to war to "protect our freedom" (his brother is deployed in Afghanistan). My answer was a firm "no", because I couldn't trust those in power to tell me the real reason the war exists. To me, this article demonstrates that point: WWII did not happen to save people from slavery and stop the horrific treatment of people... nobody cared about the horrific treatment... concentration camps, slavery, and forced relocation were just the way governments treated people 60 years ago.
