A black muslim and an illegal alien (released into the US by INS officials) shoot 13 people in 'sniper' attacks, and are caught in one of the biggest law enforcement manhunts in US history. The economic impact to the DC area is probably as great as the 9/11 attacks, and the 'terror' is actually more widespread throughout the area than 9/11.

Profilers hired by broadcast networks expouse theories about 'lone white male gun owners'.

Liberal democrats call for more gun control measures.

PC press headline reads: "Former US Army soldier and stepson suspected in DC shootings."

C.A.I.R. press release lists incidents of 'bigotry' against muslims.

US population breaths a sigh of relief and goes back to watching Survivor and Real World.

You are so right!!! Close our borders for 1 year.
This is nonsense. If they can't handle the job at INS, how about volunteers to look over paperwork at least. I would be willing to go through security check etc. Stop allowing criminals to waltz into our country.

Good points all, and we can't expect politicians or anyone with any power to address these issues rationally. For just a few hundred dollars, a wack job was able to bring commerce to a near standstill in huge areas, scare the hell out of hundreds of thousands of citizens (rightly so) and untold millions of dollars spent on their apprehension, possibly to the detriment of other, ongoing investigations and duties.

We've also broadcast in excruciating detail to our friends and enemies alike our methods and procedures Law Enforcement uses, and how perpetrators of such horrors can improve their chances of eluding capture.

A great man once said "The Constitution is not a suicide pact". Apparently that knowledge hasn't sunk in quite yet.
