My best advise to the whiners is:

If you don't like the requirement then stay the fu** home. America will do just fine without your sorry as*es, as we has a vast amount of whiners already living here.

Not all visitors from the countries would have to register, officials said. They said the program was aimed at men.

Bad idea. You may have noticed some female homicide bombers in Palestine recently ....

"Hundreds of thousands of people are going to have to register with the authorities. I just find it galling. It will alienate a lot of people," he said.

Tough. 3000 people were killed and two magnificent buildings were destroyed by lapses in the system. I find that galling.

"The Bush administration is, step by step, isolating Muslim and Arab communities both in the eyes of the government and the American people," said Timothy Edgar of the ACLU. "This latest move needs to be seen in the larger context of all the actions targeted at people of Middle Eastern descent since Sept. 11."

NEWSFLASH: In failing to openly condemn the terrorist attacks on the WTC and Pentagon and the murder of 3000 human beings, the Muslim and Arab communities have isolated themselves and done so with actions committed FAR before 9/11.

NEWSFLASH #2: Actions of people of Middle Eastern descent since 9/11 SHOULD be more scrutinized because they are the ONLY ones fitting the criminal profile of SUICIDE TERRORISTS!

This is a big winner for Bush- I read somewhere that most Republicans are for profiling, but suprisingly so are most African Americans as long as it isn't them that are being profiled. White Democrats were on the fence on the issue.

That's a firm. Last I checked, 19 of 19 9-11 jackers were non-U.S. national, Middle Eastern men. Time to stop multiple-entry visas and other tickets to mayhem. Fool us once, shame on them. Fool us twice, shame on us.

Well, if they are too galled, they can go someplace else where they won't be fingerprinted and photographed. BTW, I think it's discriminatory to only focus on middle-eastern men too, they should also fingerprint and photograph the women.

I am still waiting for their leaders to do this. It should have happened on September 12.

OK, here's my question: can we please fingerprint the ACLU too? I mean, if we're going after traitors and all.

He told a news conference the government was invoking a little-used law from the early 1950s and applying it to countries identified as having the highest risk for terrorism.

It's about time. Good work Mr. Ashcroft. This idea would have prevented 9/11 back in 1993 if Clinton were an adult president. Never count on an oversexed teen to do a real mans job.

In practice it may not do too much good, but in symbolism and theory it will speak volumes. If the terrorists had been Guamanians we'd be doing the same thing to them; the Towel Set must understand that. If not, I'm certainly not losing any Zs.

After the environmental report flap this makes my heart glad. Hopefully this is a precurser of more practical prevention measures... I hate to sound like an isolationist but if (when, according to some) we get burned by a portable nuke the libs will start to assimilate things in the proper perspective...

God bless and keep the Union!

I'm a little confused about this posting. At least where I live, I have heard a lot of Arab leaders condemning. Has this been a problem where you live? (I ask sincerely, not sarcastically.)

They did that themselves when they said kill the infedels- meaning us.
