"People see the visa line as a sign that says, ‘Hey we hate you, we regard you with suspicion, we don’t want you,’" said Khaled M. Batarfi, a managing editor of the Saudi newspaper Al-Madinah and a journalism graduate of the University of Oregon

No, that's not what the visa line means. The visa line means that enough Saudis made nasty remarks and showed their support for Bin Laden after the attacks that we decided we need to be more picky about who we allow into our country. No line would mean "we hate you, we regard you with suspicion" because it would me visas were no longer being granted.

If you're not willing to spend some time trying to show us you're a decent human being then no, we don't want you.

Saudi's take note....I support making the mideast into the world's largest parking lot. You would care enough to ask why? Gee, The Cole, The Kobar Towers, Pan-Am Flight, The World Trade Center, Possibly flights 581 and 800. Your fingerprints in dollars and people doing the "jobs" says this is your action, regardless of your words. That's more than enough for me.

When Japan attacked us in 1941, we knew we had been sucker punched. We also let them know that nothing less than an unconditional surrender would be accepted. Two nukes in a week and they began to understand. On the decks of the U.S.S. Missouri, they came to understand tht we have never got our asses kicked for being too strong.

I think it is time for history to repeat itself, and not a day to soon.
