"Listen - There are some people who coddle the enemy, thinking if we are "nice" they will stop killing us. The won't."

On this one, I agree with you. If we kill them, they will stop killing us. The problem is your way of deciding who is the enemy.

"When a Middle Easterner tries to buy a thousand phones, it can't be good."

Where you disturb me is where you ignore the fact that not all Middle Easterners are our enemies, and that your solution to that problem is indiscriminate killing. There are a lot of people who can be mistaken for Middle Easterners, and your solution is to kill people for trying to do things that are pretty normal for all the rest of us, too. The "thousand phones" were bought a few at a time. Heck, the last time I bought cellphones, I got three at once. I don't look particularly Middle Eastern, but I've lived in the Middle East, so I might be one of the dangerous ones, too. I ask again, how do you tell who is dangerous, and who is not? Maybe you can read minds, but I can't, and I refuse to depend on you to get it right.

Your answers are simplistic, and unworkable. Downright illegal, for some of them. Think a little harder, and figure out a good way to protect all of us who are not terrorists, and I'll support you, but don't talk nonsense.

You need to take things here about halfway as serious as you do. Do you really believethink that everything written here is 100% serious? Much is tongue-in-cheek. Lighten up, we are all on the same side, I think. No one is suggesting that we line up people and kill them en masse like the Nazis did, and not even suggesting prison camps like we did to the Japanese Americans in World War II.

This it the sort of enemy we face:
