I claim the hatred we’ve garnered from Guantanamo has reduced our security.

Bullshit.

Let me rephrase your premise.

I claim the hatred we’ve garnered from our internment of the Japanese, Germans and Italians has reduced our security”

Oh, what, you thought we interned just the Japanese? No, we vacuumed up Germans and Italians.

And let me tell you something else. On 9/11 the Saudis next door - the father, Ali, worked for the embassy and had diplomatic plates - within hours they had high-tailed it. We didn’t see them again for at least 6 weeks They subsequently made a habit of taking their kids back to Saudi Arabia over school break. I guess the Islamic Academy here (Fairfax County Virginia) they sent their kids too wasn’t enough.

Fast foward, past the time I shoved Ali against his van because his spawn had threatened my dog (another story) - 2 years later. I came home from a gorcery run in late August/early September and saw they had returned from the Magic Kingdom. Oh, I thought, Ali and the spawn are back in time for school. There was their van - and another van. there were women unloading the second van, they were unloading mountain bikes. They were dressed head to toe in that black hag-in-a-bag uniform including gloves. They were TOSSING WITH ONE ARM the bikes to a young man - maybe seventeen, built like a fireplug - who I had never seen before. . And they were TALL.

As I drove into the garage, thinking about what I would make for dinner, etc., it hit me. There I was, sitting in my garage, with the engine running, staring at the back wall, realizing -

THEY WEREN’T WOMEN.

And if you have ever wondered why my nic is what it is, do so no longer. We are infested.
