"We should be judged by future generations by how we act in the worst of times, not in the best. Hopefully, we will never have to test ourselves like that."

But given the hypothetical, you seem to think that we should conduct business as usual if WMD is let loose in this country? I would expect a suspension of many 'civil liberties' while we respond, includng a lock on any VISAs and putting religion vs state aside and "inspecting every osque in the USA for arms et al. The function of our government is to protect our citizens. A mass deportation of illegals sounds just fine as well. But the real preblem would be to deermine WHO we are going to be going after. That's the problem with rougue nations passing WMD to terrorist organiations.

The hy[othetical Franks proposes is really nasty and will result in some extreme actions, certain to upset a whole lot of ACLU folk.
