Once again you have avoided the main topic of discussion that was Bush's discriminating prowess (or lack there of) when dealing with matters of life and death and national security. Since we are on the topic of discussing people, their crimiality, and their ethnicity, suppose one was to make a case that most blacks are criminals because while they are minority in the society, they form the vast majority of the prisoners. Does this logic satisfy you? After all, it seems to have a lot sounder footing and broader sampling rate than your limited experiences with Afghans. As for your experience, which is too narrow at best, so what? Some criminal Afghan, who by the way does not qualify as a middle eastern, and who presumably has had to live a life time under the brutal regime of the Taliban's and so has developed lying habits (or who knows, given his insurance fraud, may be he is just a crook), has lied to win his case in court. How does this make him a representative of over a billion Muslims? BTW your prescience of my refuting your answer was an indication that you knew how weak your stance was in the first place than anything else.
