Let's say that we go over and really, really give the Taliban and the Iraqis a rich a** whuppin'.

I'd like that.

But lemme ask you this; How would it matter, given that we can't control our OWN borders?

Apparently, we are led by a group of people who are willfully neglecting to do just that.

Above the issue of controlling borders, political science teaches us that the other great test of statehood is whether the authorities manage to collect tax.

And we all know how good they are at that, now don't we? Indeed, we do. They do that very well. There, we see strong political will.

I'm not personally hostile to Mexicans. I happen to agree with them more than with my average own countryman when it comes to issues like family, homosexuality, and the death penalty. And we do need some of them here, right?

But even though I've never been accused of being a pacifist, I'm afraid that I just cannot be asked to whip myself into a frenzy, and climb down from my combine, take up a rifle and go kill arab folks when I see this kind of flamboyant lack of political will.

This is an eggregious case, yes, but it's just two young men.

THOUSAND OF THEM POUR ACROSS THE BORDER EVERY NIGHT.

IS IT SUSTAINABLE, AS A PRACTICE OF HOMELAND DEFENSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY, FOR THE UNITED STATES TO ENTER INTO A SERIOUS WAR WITH A WMD PRODUCING AND HOLDING REGIME, AT THE SAME TIME THAT NEARLY 100,000 ILLEGALS OF MIDEAST ORIGIN ARE INSIDE THE UNITED STATES?
