The number of Americans killed in terror attacks by citizens of all those countries combined in the 50 years to 2015, ZERO. The number of Americans killed by Saudis = 2,369 - UAE = 314 - and Egypt = 162. How come those who killed Americans get a free pass and those who did not are banned?

Trump may sound different, but it is still the same old BS. Financial interest trumps national security. The countries banned are all either poor or have little commerce with American companies.

But do not fear. I hear that Iraq has retaliated by banning Americans from visiting. This is going to put a lid on Iraqi dreams of Exxon, Haliburton, and others who will now start calling their paid servants in the congress. And you will see how suddenly GOP Congress that has been so quiet this weekend will grow a spine and find its moral compass.

BTW, in case you think I am picking on Trump, you should know that I equally blame Obama for this stupidity. Trump simply extended Obama's policy. If Obama had not signed it into law, Trump would not have been able to pull this off. In other words, same BS as before, just a matter of degrees and slightly different spices to make it palatable to his base.
