Syllogism
Major premise: The internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II was brutal, manifestly unjust and racist.
Minor premise: Japanese-Americans have not engaged in any siginificant terrorist activity against the United States since the War.
Conclusion: Even when treated with brutal injustice and racism, loyal American citizens are not provoked into terrorist acts.
Corollary: People who claim terrorists are driven to violent action by injustice are wrong. People who claim their acts of terror were forced by injustice (real, imagined or contrived) are liars.
An alternative hypothesis: Somewhere between internment, two atomic bombs and the United States Marine Corps, the Japanese got the message.
