P4B, does it not make you weary to know that the individuals we're fighting in that country can freely come into ours?? Have you ever heard of a sleeper cell?
Sure have heard of sleeper cells.....just another reason why we need things like the Patriot Act. Being able to tap into these peoples communication is vital! Thinking that if we pull out and leave the middle east is going to mean that they ask the sleeper cells to come home though is just a dream....wouldn't happen. If anything, by leaving them alone over there will just give them more of a base in order to create schemes for the cells.

I hear ya but that is something that we all have to get over. I was up at the Mall of America and saw quite a few of the Muslim faith in there. My first thoughts were the same as yours and I was a bit pissed off at myself because of it. NOT ALL Muslims are terrorists and to look at a person and think such a thing is just racist.

Like what the ol' man used to say...."You have assholes in all groups".

Have a good one!:s4:
