The United States has the largest budget in the history of the world. Our government spends $2 trillion per year. We can secure the border of South Korea. We can secure the border of Kuwait and send half a million troops to kick Iraq out of Kuwait. We can occupy Bosnia and dozens of other hot spots in the world. Our government can dream up and implement every hair-brained social scheme known to man and spend billions on it. Our government can dictate the amount of water allowed to be flushed in our toilets.

This country has the financial resources to build walls 30 feet high the entire distance of both our north and south borders. We have the resources to monitor every water vessel entering our waters.

To say we can do nothing about allowing terrorists into our country is absolutely preposterous!

The admission by our leaders that we have to grab our ankles and let thousands more die at the hand of terrorists is a clarion call to remove the political leadership of the United States and put some serious adults in charge.

You're probably right, if we were willing to isolate our country, sure we could slow down terrorism.

But I don't see that as being a "realistic solution". Back to Israel again, they haven't been able to isolate themselves, and they admitt that even with a barrier they are building, terrorism will not be prevented 100%.
