I am glad to see that our Border patrol is keeping those terrorists out! Daily Brickbat Absurd news bites, served fresh every day. By Charles Oliver Home Field Advantage (7/31) The Kelowna Heat, a Canadian teenage girls' softball team, had everything it needed to play at a tournament in Spokane, Washington, everything except government-issued photo IDs. When U.S. border officials found the team had only school photo IDs and social-insurance cards, the girls' coach offered to contact people in Spokane who could vouch for them. But the border guards took no chances and sent the potential terrorists packing.

Among the options available if we get a "Meltdown" in Saudi Arabia, is the Hashmenite intervention. I gather a good case could have been made for that Dynasty taking over Mecca when the whole area was split up after WWI. Jordan has troops on the Border, ready to go, from what I have read.
