And you think that having a public discussion about how many of those are in the US is a "shoddy affair?"
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're either senile, or just arrived from another planet.
Sorry, KeyLargo.
Though I do not believe you are senile nor an extraterestial visitor, Publius6961's reply was so succintly right on target I had to stand up and give him/her a salute of respect . . . and, a cheerful toast with what was left in my coffee mug after reading his/her post. The rest of my coffee was spread all over my desk . . . just missed drenching my keyboard.

I do not know how my post was changed by removing my last sentence. As you see I included my opinion that King was correct in his hearings.
This is exactly what I posted on numerous threads:
I rarely agree with this view of the U.S., but now I do in the case of the U.S. beginning a third war in the Middle East and the disaster that will follow. However, I do not agree though that Rep. King’s congressional hearings are a ‘witchhunt’ since he is trying to protect us here in the U.S.
Libya: Another quagmire beckons.
In the short space of a decade, the U.S. has made war in three Muslim nations, and Canada in two. For many Muslims, any just cause for these conflicts is beside the point. Shoddy affairs like Rep. Peter King (R-NY)’s congressional witchhunt on Muslims are easily enough overlooked in Karachi and Jakarta. But Western military attacks on sovereign Muslim nations can’t help but appear to many of the world’s estimated 1.2 billion to 1.6 billion Muslims - or about 20% of the world population - as a determined assault on the Muslim world.
