Oh, I don't, which is why I voted for Obama. All I'm saying is the following 3 points:
1) I want the Muslims tested before they get on planes, not the blonde American and the grandma. That's all. Let's use statistical profiling to pick our security audit candidates instead of random checking. Or even better, do a combination of both. Do a 100% audit of Muslims who have recently traveled to at risk countries and do random checks of the rest of us. Then we can stop the non-sense coming from the Muslim side.
So at least you recognize that the next terrorist attack may well be a blond. Good.
2) I don't want them in US courts. They don't deserve that and I don't want to pay for it. If they have attacked us and they aren't American citizens, then they need to be in military tribunals.
Its not likely the Nigerian will go to trial. Richard Reid didn't. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced without the benefit of a court trial. Besides, in reality, there is very little difference between a military and civilian court. The military court follows most of the same procedures. The wingers are making a big thing about the Nigerian being lawyered and that a military court can interrogate him whereas a civilian court can't because of his lawyer. But that's BS....when the military starts interrogating him, all the Nigerian has to do is refuse to talk. Now do you think the US military will torture the son of a wealthy, respected and prominent Nigerian to get him to talk? I don't.
3) Let's vow to do no more nation building anywhere except in the US. And if we go to war, let's get retribution and achieve our goals and then get out without feeling the need to rebuild what we have destroyed. We do that, and everyone will think twice about attacking us again, because they know that we won't be giving them a trillion dollars after we attack them.
Agreed. And if we decide war is a possibility, lets rethink it twice, thrice and four times before actually doing it.
