Can't the customs install a fingerprinting and testing software at US ports of entry ? Or are we saying thats giving up a little bit of privacy and freedom ? Personally, I don't give a damn if i had to pass thru a fingerprinting check every time i fly in and out of US...

Do you know how many illegal aliens enter the US every year without ever going through customs?

Neither do I. But it is a lot.

And different people value privacy and freedom differently. The Arab governments don't value it a lot and the environment breeds a large amount of terrorists. Of course, they can't operate there, so they export them to us.

I guess what bothers me is that we're sanctioning the killing of hundreds or thousands of people becoz we don't know what else to do with them ?

Of course, the US will be blamed for their deaths, even though it will be the Afghans who do it. Another situation where the US is damned if they do and damned if they don't. Maybe those Talebans who now want to surrender should turn on their Al Qaeda brothers and kill them first and then surrender. Maybe they should think about who they want to fight for the next time.
