Jews weren't flying jets into buildings, and blowing up pizza parlors and discos and buses full of kids in Berlin.

My turn to apologize for not getting back to you. I was away from the keyboard yesterday.

You make some very good points. Things that I had not thought of (one of the reasons I love this site is it makes me think).

I don't think we need to cut off trade with other countries, but we should mirror their trade practices if we do trade. We should not trade with hostile or communist nations (China comes to mind). This would mean Americans would have to get used to paying more for the goods they buy. No more cheap, slave labor manufactured goods. This would stop China's economy from growing and their ability to make war. No money = no weapons.

We should stop ALL monetary aid to ALL countries. Hearing politicians talk of not enough money infuriates me when I see all the money we give away.

We need to restart our manufacturing base in this country and become self-reliant again. The only things we make in this country anymore are money and weapons. When's the last time you saw a pair of gloves that was made in the USA?

The main thing I want to see stopped is the flood of illegals coming in. The only way I see to do it is to militarize and close the borders.

>> Dirty politicians/crooks/organized crime take the money. <<

You just hit the nail on the head.

True. And there are millions and millions of Muslims in the US and around the world that aren't doing that now either.

To be clear, I'm not opposed to punishing criminals, but I am concerned about who gets labelled a criminal, especially when the innocents aren't separated from the category.

The terrorist intentionally make it impossible to tell the innocent from the guilty by blending in perfectly.

Mohammed Atta was a model "moderate Muslim" until 9-11.

I took some time off and went to help a friend fix her trailer home.

BTW, there was a thread about the use of unmanned aircraft like the PREDATOR to patrol the borders.

I think we need to get the United Nations to be what it was supposed to be.
Make membership representative by population of country, and a country must follow certain standards to be a member. No slavery, no ethnic purging, no supporting terrorists.

Stop all foreign payments, then let a vote of the UN countries decide which countries need money, and take it out of a central pool of money, payed in by all members, according to GNP.

I think the term 'illegals' pretty much defines what should be done there. We have laws, rules for immigration and naturalization. They should be followed.
