The fight over port security vs trade is the start of a split between those who think our future depends on fighting Islam and those who think our future depends on free trade.
You've changed the subject. Instead of backers of free trade vs. backers of WOT, you're talking about backers of trade vs. backers of a War on Islam.
So, you're against all trade? I guess we could close our ports to all imports and use them to ship goods from one area of America to another, then we wouldn't have to worry about someone smuggling a nuke into the country. I doubt that would be popular. Most Americans like driving their foreign cars propelled by mideastern oil.
Do you really want a war on Islam? Should we start fighting Turks and Albanians? Instead of trying to foster democracy in Afganistan and Iraq, should we just try to destroy them?
Or, like Buchanon are you in favor of neo-isolationism. Personally, I don't see that as a WOI or a WOT, it's more of a surrender to both.
At any rate, my original question about how bakcers of free trade are at loggerheads with backers of WOT is unanswered.
I disagree. Do you think all Arabs are the same?
