You know, something I just cannot understand is how anybody can say that the situation with these terrorists is just too complicated and you can' deal with them this way or that way, but in essence you have to "understand" them and placate them. Bulls**t! I forget what it was on last night but there was some stupid a** Palestinian sympathizer, an Arab at that, talking about these peoples' rights, specifically students to come to the US and study. Have I missed something? I thought it was a PRIVILEGE and NOT a right! The person arguing on the other side of the issue was the one with the logical argument in my opinion. He believes, as I do, that ALL student visas from countries that are known to sponser terrorism be suspended indefinitely until an acceptable resolution is attained. What is so radical about that? One of the few things where the government is actually given authority by the constitution is in immigration policy. And what do they do? Not much of anything that I can see. It just makes no sense to me. Some try to argue that it is about the freedom of America, but when a policy compromises national security and threatens your very way of life, how can it be justified? We need to just say no to these people and if they don't like it, oh well. I don't believe we have any obligation to please them any more than they would us if the situation was reversed.

I'm with you SL.....its as stupid as strip searching an 80 year old arthritic man or woman while watching an arab just walk on by to board a plane!

Stupidity knows no bounds when government is involved.
