Comments like these convince me that these people do not, and never will, understand what 'democracy; or even 'society' actually mean:

"It shakes the fundamental ways of thinking about democracy and civil liberties,' said Waheed Momand, executive director of the Afghan Coalition."

He thinks that civil liberties mean his kind can break laws, plot to conceal terrorists, ignore the rights of others, and any interference is a denial of 'democracy'? Or perhaps worse, he thinks 'democracy' is a free ride?

I picture these people as being one of only two types, those who were unwilling to take sides in their own country and ran away and those who did take sides and are here in order to advance an islamist agenda. Either way, unless we need them for some specific skill or purpose, and unless they follow the rules and assimilate to OUR society, they should be elsewhere.

My idea of Democracy and Waheed's idea of Democracy ain't the same! I don't believe that one should come from some third-world mudhole, where one rides burros and bicycles, (and where freedom is an alien concept); and proceed to tell me how I should accept one's un-willingness to learn the language, acculturate, and become an American Citizen, (while I pay for one's welfare benefits)! If you don't like the way we live, "get the falafel-out!"
