ost_uid0="princevegetam"]russia was communists and since americans hate communists so much then why don't they imprison those sleeper agents? why not imprison russians? didn't they threaten nuclear war with those nuclear missles in cuba?[/quote]
...um...we don't know if ppl are sleeper agents or not, genius. To say "we should have imprisoned the russian sleeper agents" is like saying "we should have arrested the spies that we didn't even know existed."

The Russians never directly attacked us, never gave us a reason to imprison any Russian Americans (if there even were any in the US). Japan did. They were held in what you call "camps" for a couple of years until the war with Japan was over. Then they were released. there was no foul mistrateatment. No Japanese were killed. No Japanese were beat up. We just temporarily put them into a place where we could keep tabs on them, and keep our eyes open.
