"because some backwards religious fanatics kill a few thousand people"

You've stated what you would not do, but what WOULD you do, to prevent another instance of the above? And, why the oddly minimizing language in reference to 9/11? You are aware that a fatwa has been issued that gives the OK to killing millions of civilians in the US, aren't you?

I refer you to my previous post where I state that what I WOULD do was invade Afghanistan and Iraq, crack down on Lybia and Syria, kick the hell out of Iran; and promote democratic revolution in Lebanon, and reform in Egypt and Saudi Arabia; and stop supporting Pakistan. When the Middle East is free and prosperous they will have their own lives to live and wont be convinced by two bit petty tyrants (who we foolishly support, defend, or both) that their problems are all because WE are free and prosperous.

We give money to Egypt, then the Egyptian press, controlled by the government, says that all the Egyptians problems are because of the "little Satan" of Israel, and the "Big Satan" of the USA. That load of cr#p will no longer be washed down with relish by an educated people with a free press and free elections.

Freedom is the answer. Not less freedom in the USA.

As far as domestic security I am not above racial/religious profiling; as long as the assumption of innocence is maintained and we don't just round up and intern Muslims like we did the Japanese in WWII.

I would rather those assholes kill another 30,000 Americans, me included, than abandon even one of our Constitutional freedoms.
