Profiling is going to happen, whether now or after the next attack, and many will find it extremely offensive.
I think you're wrong about the profiling.
This is one of the things that Americans seem to be split pretty close to 50-50 about.
The hatred exposed in the profiling debate is going to cause Christian Arabs, formerly stalwarts of the Republican party, to vote Democrat.
The hatred exposed in the immigration debate is going to change the minds of Latinos who bought the argument the Republican party is for everybody, not just whites.
And we'll likely see Democrat gains this fall, and 2008.
But if all you can see is what you want, and you can't see any other point of view, I am probably wasting my time trying to get you to see that.
