Should the survivors of the Japanese prison camps have been given a $20,000 reparations payment from 1988 on, or was their imprisonment just the fortunes of war? Your opinion?
 
I am not one for reparations but considering, I think 20,000 g's are a little low for what the families went through.

It's not per person, it's per family.
 
I think $20,000 is an awful lot of money. I think just a formal apology acknowledging that we know and understand that what we did was wrong would have been good enough. I do believe that it's just part of war, and unfortunatley taking prisoners is part of it.
