It is time we stopped being politically correct.

1. Muslim Arabs cause Terrorism
2. If there were no Muslim Arabs in the USA September 11, 2001 would never have taken place.
3. Solution stop any further Arab Muslim immigration
4. Remove all non USA citizens of Arab muslim decent.
5. No more student visas to Arab muslims
6. No more allowing there hate groups to spread in the USA
7. It is not our fault they are having a population explosion. Let them solve their own problems. Don not let them export their evil to the USA.
8. Defend our borders from illegal immigration.
9. Open up Anwar for oil exploration
10. Develop alternative fuels to be used instead of petroleum products.

They could have flown in from overseas and crashed planes headed for Canada. It would still have been doable.

Wow! He's getting sentenced for cooperating with authorities. Just imagine what he'd be facing if he hadn't cooperated. LOL!

God only knows what the terror cell leader arrested in Greensboro, NC was planning. Bad thing is, I live just outside of Greensboro. This stuff's hitting too close to home!

Planes coming in from overseas wouldn't have had full fuel loads. Might have made a big difference.
