Disturbed individuals come in all flavors, with all sorts of self-justifications for their behavior. Ask any of McVeigh's victims, or the family of Dr. George Tiller, or... pick from thousands of other examples. Making every Muslim a suspect, as you seem to want to do, is not realistic - Islam represents 25% of the world's population. Homeland Security needs to focus on nutty, violent types regardless of their religious orientation. McVeigh claimed to be a Baptist. We don't need to monitor all Baptists, right? Re "moaning about why they hate us," well, here's the important question: Which is "safer," friends or enemies? It seems that our latest military thinking in Afghanistan is to "win the hearts and minds" of Afghanis. With that as a goal, WE NEED TO KNOW why they hate us. It's the only way we'll ever be able to bring our troops home. Or, of course, we could follow your plan: choose to remain ignorant, condemn all "furriners," and start making plans to nuke 'em all, just in case. You simple-minded creep.
