If you aren’t upset on this Thanksgiving after traveling through our nation’s airports, then maybe you should be. How can we “Americans” honestly be asked to believe that they are really looking for terrorist. While we allow the real potential terrorists to pass through security, we will be patting down grandma, and your son or daughter, because for some reason everyone in America is a suspect when it comes to terrorism.
For those of you who haven’t got it, this war on Terrorism is the world against Al Qaida. But we’re not concentrating on the individuals who are members of these organizations. Rather we have made things more difficult for American’s while ignoring the fact that if you want to stop terrorist, you have to profile.
Justice may have to be blind, but that doesn’t mean that the police need to be. I’m confused what law states that visitors to the US are supposed to be afforded the same rights as citizens. Maybe we should have a separate code for visitors to the US. Obviously there are countries that should have a more “favored” status, such as the UK. But we must protect our country from enemies both foreign and domestic.
There has to be a happy medium between what the ACLU says helps to maintain the Bill of Rights, while being able to protect America.
Honestly, we need to target the same type people who did the 9/11 attacks.
This is a war between Western Civilization vs Muslim Extremists. Until we acknowledge this, we can’t win. Let’s face it, what other culture in the world is using suicide and marytdom as a positive aspect of their society.
