Man, I have conflicted feelings about this.

My cousin, married to an Iranian Ba’hai, gets profiled if she files with her husband or kids. She complains, but a part of me thinks that this is not a bad thing. Until we invent some kind of terrorist-detecto-matic, we’ll have to go with the only thing that the previous terrorists have had in common—a religion/nationality. Sorry, but this country has the right to defend itself.

Muslims haven’t exactly done a lot to reassure us that they are in this fight with us. Having President Bush tell us they are peaceful is not what we need. We need to see western mosques firing radical imams.

Have you ever talked about bombs on an airplane? I haven’t.
