As a child in the 1960's, not so long after World War 2, I lived in Papua New Guinea which had been occupied by the Japanese and my family knew people who had been tortured. One couple were a beloved American doctor and his wife, the Brauns. It seemed, as I also looked at the other conflicts of the twentieth century, that torture and any abuse of minorities are the methods of people who are acting as losers and cowards. Obviously I do not mean this as a perjorative against people when they are not engaging or supporting this i.e. this is not some general insult against Japanese, German people now, whose countries engaged in torture then.

Our two U.S. senators, Murkowski and Sullivan and a trail of their Republican Party seem to support Donald Trump who has declared that he will bring back torture. How can either Murkowski and in particular, Sullivan support this racist man who would bring back torture and say they support our multi-ethnic military. 

Something will go terribly wrong.
