Oh, I see. The reason why they will nuke us first is because of the attitudes of people like myself, who doesn't like the idea that people born in this country (and who have made it abundantly clear that they love it and stand against its enemies) should fear their fellow Americans because they supposedly look like the bad guys.
Do some reading of the posts I was responding to. A man who would be thought of as a patriot prior to September 11 was told that he should be interned due to his ethnicity if push comes to shove.
I once worked with a man of Japanese descent surnamed "Ohara." On occasion, memos would be written in which the name was presumed misspelled, and it would be "corrected" by people who would spell the name "O'Hara." It would have been dangerous to have the name "Ohara" in 1942 America, but it is safe now. However, if it was Irish-born immigrant members of the IRA rather than Taliban immigrant members of Al-Qaeda that flew a plane into the WTC and the Pentagon, it would become dangerous all over again because of people who are ready to adopt un-American concepts to "defend" America.
"Wimps get killed or enslaved," you say. Hamza01 told everyone willing to read that he was not a wimp, and he would refuse to be enslaved either by attackers of the U.S., those that would come after his family, or people like WileyCoyote22, who is ready to treat him like an American-born person of Japanese descent if hysteria calls for him to do so.
Reading stuff your post amazes me. FR is a place where people decried the manner in which the Clinton admin used to "use the Bill of Rights for toilet paper," and now some advocate the same practice 59 years after FDR set the record!
What ethnicity are you, Republic? What's your real name? Where do you go to church? Are you ready to be convicted without a trial as an enemy of the state for just being born to a certain family, practicing the "wrong" religion, or just looking the way you do?
One of the terrorists who was recently convicted of the first WTC bombing IS an American citizen who lived in Arlington, Texas, home of the Texas Rangers and about 30 mi. from my house. If a few folks get inconveinenced because of the need to profile them by age, gender and race, tough cookies. (All of the terrorists are young, to early middle aged Arabic men.)
If you fit the profile, and you are an American patriot, it might be frustrating, but PERFECTLY understandable if you are profiled. If we have a rash of terrorist attacks done by white, male Real Estate agents, I'll understand if I am viewed with suspicion.
