I agree with you on those points. However, this terrorism thing is new to America. We had no reason to profile anyone like that. Israel sure does. Somehow they know the difference between some that looks Arab and someone that is. Weird but that's El Al who has never had a hijacking I hear.
No kidding. I'm not in total agreement with Israel's treatment of Arabs either. But it's common sense to narrow the field down to the most likely suspects and let the most unlikely alone. I do think most of our problems are with our borders. If we could solve them there, the rest of the nation could be in peace.
