Not to get you upset more than you already are, but I can say from experience, with the help of increasingly advanced online automated translation software rendering foreign languages into English, I have occasion like a number of growing Freepers to sometimes out of curiosity visit Middle Eastern news sites and read stories about Muslim jihad attacks somewhere in our unfortunate world (in Arabic) and then the stories are followed with readers' comments, and you can see a majority of them calling these fanatics "brothers" and "martyrs" and "soldiers" and "heroes". I kid you not.

But what I really do not kid you about is that off to the side of these comments, one will see a US State Department (or other agent) floating add inviting people to apply for a Lottery to GET A VISA TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES.Right there on these Middle Eastern websites frequented by radical youths with lots of time and no female (I wont say the word) on their hands.

This is a classic definition of INSANITY.

It is in fact NATIONAL SUICIDE for our nation to be placing such ads and running such lotteries on Middle Eastern, Arabic/Islamic websites.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Insaniacs are running our country.

I fully support your idea of a debate but it will never happen.

However, as someone else suggested, go ahead and hold the debate and have an empty chair where CIAR rep should be.
