Curious. This exact same argument was made in the 1930s. It was a advocated by a group called American Firsters. Their Dogma was called "Isolationism".
It almost resulted in the Nazis winning WW2.
Such a dogma after WW2 would of let the Sovs win the Cold War.
We tried this in the 1980s and 1990s with Terrorism. We pretended it wasn't a threat. That if we just ignored it it would fade away. How did that Neo Isolationist Dogma work out for us on 09-11-01?
Terrorism is a threat, exacerbated by some of our own foreign policies.
Carpet bombing Baghdad and any other site of possible WMD is fair game, but a prolonged ground war and nation building is becoming an exercise in futility, drenching Iraqi soil with American blood for too many nutty Muslims of whom if there are any moderates can't stand up to their own criminal element.
I would support refusing no more entry from Islamic countries and I would seriously consider deportation of many/all here on visas. I am not soft on terror but I think they way we are fighting it is ill-advised. But having said that, we have made a commitment and we have to keep it.
Though you disagreed with me, thanks for not the posting the too often ad hominem " DUmmy troll" response I see on FR
