"This country is dropping into a state of paranoia," said Hassan Safvi, 54, a Pakistani native who is a mechanical engineer for the state Department of Correction in Raleigh. "There is a fear in the back of everybody's mind who is from the Middle East that you are a suspect just because of what you look like."
Ok, I'll play.
What did the terrorists who blew up the marine barracks look like?
What did the terrorists who bombed the WTC look like?
What did the terrorists who blew up the embassies and the USS Cole look like?
What did the terrorists who hijacked four aircraft on September 11th, 2001 look like?
What did every successful hijacker worldwide in the last 30 plus years look like?
That's not paranoia, that's common sense. It's not profiling, it's simple IFF.

Sensitivity and political correctness will do us in quite effectively. You are sooooooo correct. Every man for himself as it is increasingly evident our government is more prone to protect the enemy than its own citizens in this time of war based on their intent to kowtow to the ACLU and its ilk.
