There are more Muslims of non Middle Eastern origin than you can count.  

But don't let me shatter your illusion that racial profiling will make you any safer.

And how many of those non middle eastern origin moslems have been involved in 3-11, Madrid, or 9-11-type attacks?

But dont let me shatter your illusion that racial profiling doesnt work.

IRAQ has used valuable monies and manpower that we could have been using to completely secured our borders and ports of entry!  Wished we would have just focused on Bin Laden and securing our borders.

you will see the difference btwn them and the republicans as it comes to our security ..

guess you have forgot 92 - 00 whereas our lack of action lead to every increasing attacks topping off with 911

One must remember that the biggest muslim population is not in a Middle Eastern country.

"They" already paid 2 visits to the WTC before iraq, or had you forgotten. The first was a successfuly bomb blast in the basement that barely failed to cause significant damage and I'm sure you are aware of the other. Threats of similar and other attacks on US soil have been made repeatedly, why do you think they won't try again?

Difference is when they do succeed in doing it again. And it is a when not an if.

All the nay sayers on Iraq are going ot say its because we went to Iraq.

Im aleady hearing things from people I know like "We went into Iraq and NOW the Arabs hate us"



Duhhhh Im sorry! I completely forget. Exactly how much did they love us before?

I pretty much do not like either party, most up there are controlled by special interest groups and their pocket book!  

I do know that the current adm, fudged up with going into IRAQ!

The reason why the "fight for terrorism" is in Iraq is a result of us invading that country.  If we hadn't, there would be no Al-queda in Iraq.  That group was created as a direct result of our invasion and the vacuum it created that let scores of foreign jihadists to enter the country.

You honestly think that fighting in Iraq has done anything to make this country or the world safer from terrorism?  Especially when the terrorists behind 9/11 aren't even in Iraq?

If we were truly serious about the war on terror, we have concentrated in killing them in Afghanistan.  All we did is create another front and a lot more terrorists.

I'm sure I'm not the only Rebublican to feel this way.

if we didn't, the left and their buds in the media would be screaming for us TO invade.
I'm fine with a strong US presence in Iraq. I know many others who feel the same way.

i too am glad saddam has assumed room temp...  he was a stalin/hitler in the making...  I say taking him out would have been like someone knocking off hitler in '31.  He didnt live long enough to have the weapons to fulfill his 'vision' for Iraq.  I think the administration has blundered by fighting the war half-heartedly... We should be scorching the streets of the neighborhoods that harbor our enemies.

Right now, I am fine with the various terror groups operating in iraq, it limits their resources (mainly human) to fight us here.  Think of iraq as our own "terrorist a-hole bugzapper"  they come from all over the world just to die in droves... I am fine with that.

Although you refuse to accept a "US presence" in the region already failed once, and Bush is following a failed blueprint. There is no getting around the history lesson the US .gov learned once in Iran... pretending it never happened might work for some here in the US, but people in the mid east certainly haven't forgotten... it's more of a rally cry to them then a distant memory.

Could you please be explicit in what you are saying here. In particular the failed first US presence part, or are you just considering the shah situation as a "US presence"

Milwaukee, June 4. A U.S. person’s carryon baggage contained wire coil wrapped around a possible initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, three tubes and two blocks of cheese. The bulletin said block cheese has a consistency similar to some explosives.

Thank god it wasn't limberger.

how has it failed when it is not over yet?
it's 95% politics at this point .. a way for the left to try and win in 08, nothing more.
if the leaders had your mindset, we'd never won either world war or korea .. you sound like you are cheering for another Vietnam .. you should re-read your own quote
