I understand your point, and I understand the reasons why. I also understand the reality we face today.
By engaging in the Middle East, we catalog people. We know of a lot of people over there, because we have been in the trenches over there.
Those folks train for years, and then come here. I want to know who they are, when they are still over there.
I don’t want to find out who they are as a result of a bomb going off here.
I realize you have some good points behind your thoughts. I just think this world is too complex to stay within our border and wait for it...
We should take some pages from the IDF playbook and start profiling. Triggering thousands of saracens and illegal alien felons is worth preventing the deaths of Americans.
