Bring it on...if they want war, they will get war, and they will be defeated.

[Callahan]

I'm waiting for Reuters to complain when the list of "Most Wanted Aryan Neo-Nazis" contains pictures of white people.

HHHHAAAAAAA....now I suppose we'll have to have DIVERSITY on the MOST WANTED LISTS.....HHHAAAHHHHAAAHHHAAA - their little pyramid scheme is falling apart, finally!!!!!

Alienating muslims wouldn't be smart. The US is very dependent on Arab oil.

And they are dependent on our $$.

[BillyBoy]

Hey, the "Most Wanted Wife Beaters" list contains only MEN!!! Discrimination!

[Moosilauke]

Bush neglected to run this by the PC police. We sure wouldn't want to hurt the self-esteem of the terrorist crowd.

[RetiredArmy]

Sure and every damned thing the US does is going to piss somebody somewhere off. Probably mostly here were the liberals and socialist slime live and breed. Who gives a rat's butt what these people say? Who care? Why bother worrying about it. Just fire their butts up and kill all of the slimy rag heads. I don't give a care what these bunch of communist say or whine about. Let em whine.

WRONG!!!! There is enough Oil in Venezula, The North Sea, The Caspian Sea, Nigera and sibera to replace the middle eastern oil.

Good point, but you're being far too logical.

[jwrogers]

What a big load of you-know-what. Bush didn't put those people on the list. They put THEMSELVES on the list.

[Bikers4Bush]

It is what it is. If the terrorists that are wanted weren't all arabs then it wouldn't make much difference would it?

This is the biggest, steaming pile of reaking pc crap that I have ever read.

Oh no bluto, all the terorists are arabs and that's gonna make people mad. Screw them.

[Brian Mosely]

This reminds me of the time they had a county wide bust of crack dealers and wouldn't you know it, guess which ethnic group made up 100% of the arrests. Yeah...it's RACISM to go after them.

[BubbaJunebug]

BFD... who gives a damn what they think...I'm sick of PC in the news, PC in our government schools.

[Irene Adler]

"Why pick on Arabs? Are there no South Americans, Irish, Serbs, Japanese among the most wanted?"

Not right now, no there aren't.

[kevkrom]

While there are other terrorists out there, and they may be dealt with in turn, right now the biggest terrorist threat to the US comes solely from Islamic extremists. Somehow, I doubt an IRA terrorist is likely to smash a hijacked plane into a building in the US, or release nuclear/biological/chemical WMD here either.

The point of a "most wanted" list is to focus attention on the most immediate threats, and I'm sick to the teeth of trying to avoid hurting anyone's "feelings". I understand that some amount of diplomacy is necessary to keep the situation such that it is the US that dictates the scope of action by avoiding inciting a larger-scale conflict, but at some point dealing with the mission at hand gets more priority than diplomacy.

I forgot to add that Reuters sucks.
