ON SEPTEMBER 1, 1992, Ramzi Yousef arrived at JFK airport. He presented an Iraqi passport without a U.S. visa, was briefly detained (and fingerprinted) for illegal entry, and granted asylum pending a hearing.

Our first misstake; he should have been deported automatically, then and there. Also added to watch list and refused any future visa, PERIOD.

My understanding is that the 'watch list' was routinely ignored from one agency to another. Deportation (IMHO) should ALWAYS be the first option - it's our responsibility to protect our borders FIRST - then worry about 'rights'.

I am greatly troubled by the fact that our government has been spending money and time on saving some minnow in a stream, keeping prayer out of schools, disarming citizens, dumbing down our schools, allowing the social takeover of our institutions by radical feminists, the hijacking of our courts by ultra liberal judges - I could go on - rather than dealing with the REAL problems facing all countries - protecting borders and providing a strong defense.

For 8 years we couldn't be bothered with this type of information - our beloved media spent thousands of man hours on OJ, boxers or briefs, interns and cigars - not Chinese money, giving away satellite technology, our 'can't we all get along' foreign policy with Arafat and Adams.

How many people know about the disappearing laptops in the state department? Or the naked woman found dead in the state department? Or - well, there's a pattern, but then it's all the product of the vast right wing conspiracy.
