If this is true, and this kind of crap continues, we may see the depotation of all Middle Easterners, citizens or not.

In which case you WILL see me with a gun, killing any government officials who would DARE to lay hands upon innocent American citizens. If you've any love for your country (READ: The Constitution), you'll be there alongside me (or maybe you're a coward or a traitor instead). That's what the 2nd Amendment is for.

[sneakypete]

Folks I am not panicking but it is time to break out the NUKES and go to using them.

No,you're not "panicking" NOW. You have already left "panic" so far in the background that you can't see it in your rear view mirror.

[sneakypete]

You're certainly not overreacting.

You don't think calling for us to nuke whole countries is "overreacting"????? What the hell WOULD you call "overreacting",if that's the case?

[sneakypete]

My only hope at this point is that whatever is done will be suffiently restrained to allow "the rest of us" to have some semblance of liberty.

Me too,but it's not gonna happen. The American people are panicking already,and if one more terror attack is made in the US,they will be going next door to murder their life-long Arab neighbors. Others are so scared they are as likely to use their guns to kill themselves as a suspected enemy. It's gonna get ugly. All at the same time we now have a "Homeland Security Office" that is ran by a Republican anti-gunner,working under the orders of a Republican president most of these sheeple see as a saint. This combination can get away with things a Dim president could never even dream of,as the good little Republican sheeple would never dream of asking them any questions or criticising them in any way.

The only part of this that truly surprises me is the hugh numbers of Americans who are personal cowards. I honestly expected better than this from Americans.

What about the oath taken by military and elected/appointed officials that says "all enemies, foreign and domestic

The intern, who sources said came from a Middle Eastern country, had sent an e-mail to all employees that a top American Media official described as “peculiar.”

From Sudan is what I have heard.

[Ben Ficklin]

ABC's Charlie Gibson reported on GMA that the intern(exchange student from Sudan) had been interviewed by the FBI and he is not suspected. Gibson said that ABC spoke by phone with the intern last night and the "gift" mentioned in the e-mail was bagels and cream cheese.

Agreed.

First bio/chem attack with more than a couple of deaths - Medina ceases to exist.

Second attack - Mecca (including the Kabbah) is a cinder.

We can even be nice - give'm 24 hours to evacuate.

Whether this is classified as terrorism or not, hubby and I had a talk this weekend about opening envelopes that we did not recognize the return address of. I got one of those crazy letters from a psychic and opened it just for grins, he got mad at me. He is right, we should be more cautious. Anyone can get a P.O. Box and claim to be a psychic or anything else for that matter. A mass mailing such as that could be disasterous. Please be careful, y'all!

[Aquinasfan]

If this is s true story, and it did come from A Middle Eastern student, all Middle Eastern student visas should be revoked and future applications denied.

Even if this is somehow unrelated to 9/11, all Middle Eastern visas should be revoked. Moreover, immigration from the Middle East should be stopped. Period. The rest of the world would be wise to follow this course as well.

[Re-electNobody]

When the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) ran ads about then Senator Spencer Abraham opposing measures to make tracking of possible foreign terrorists easier, Sen. Abraham referred to them as a "hate group". Paul Gigot of the WSJ called FAIR "racist".

[Re-electNobody]

Also need an indefinite moratorium on all immigration, until things settle down.

[sargon]

Attacks like this should carry the death penalty.

[TightSqueeze]

I refuse to allow political correctness to be the death of me.

Better to be tried by 12 peers, than carried by 6.

The plot thickens. It occurs to me that any Middle Easterner is an easy "fall guy" for J. Random Nutcase with a grudge....

Exactly. Anyone who would deport innocent American citizens is an enemy of the United States.

[the_alfalfanator]

so, should we call this person a "Taliboid" ?
