And before one of you Liberal nuts get on here talking about how we are wrong and all this "love" shit, your own president that you love so much is being shown in effigies and being burned.....

And people call someone like Ron Paul crazy for pretty much saying he'd like to leave these people to thereselves and who gives a shit what happens to them....

I totally understand what you are saying. The intelligence community has said over and over that if we were not fighting these thugs over in the middle east, we would be facing much more in the way of terrorist attacks over here. At least over there it's somewhat of a war zone, albeit a guerilla war zone. The idea is it's better to take them on where we can at least pit them against our trained military as opposed to exposing innocent civilians trying to get to work in the morning or kids at school, to their murderous schemings.

I for one can easily believe that to be the case in light of this and George W's administration's lack of will, when it comes to border/immigration control. America's new god, tolerance, dictates every move we make. Preserving the dignity of the diverse groups of the world is more important than our next breath in the minds of the politically correct watch dogs of our society. Hence, we dare not profile arabs at customs, airline bording points, (airlines are their weapon of mass destruction of choice and we wouldn't want to deny them the opportunity to arm themselves) or border crossings.

If we could simply withdraw and let them bomb themselves into oblivion I say let them go for it. The problem is they are driven by hate for Israel and America, who they call the "great satan". You know they're never going to be satified just killing themselves, they will export as much mayhem to our shores as they possibly can. Having troops on the ground in the middle eastern countries gives us an enormous advantage in our efforts to keep up with their efforts to procure a nuke. This is the main concern of those that have the responsiblity of defending our land, the threat that these guys will one day get their hands on a nuke small enough to smuggle into one of our major cities and lay waste to it. There's that anti-profiling and porous border problem popping up again. I guess in lieu of a viable customs policy, we can all just hope real hard that things will turn out alright. It just wouldn't be right to put the Islamic extremist coming and going at will across our borders through the humiliation of a thorough luggage search and a pat down. We reserve that for the likes Donald Rumsfeld and grandmothers etc.
