But I DO believe in what I have said here, and I acknowledge others see things differently. That's why I keep posting: to try to make them see how wrong they are and how right I am. They reply with a similar purpose in mind.

Having said that, I want to address stripedangel's comment about the "known terrorist cell" that the authorities can do nothing about. The reason they can do nothing is, presumably, because, although the cell has an association with illegal organisations, it has not actually done anything wrong yet - at least, so far as anyone knows. To lock the members up because they condone something that is generally unacceptable is a form of thought control, and I don't think anyone is in favour of that.

It seems to me that torturing a suspected sleeper would be counter productive, because the sleeper would have almost nothing to say except he was waiting for orders from his handler, whom he only knows as "Big Al". But Big Al would notice the sleeper had disappeared and would realise the game was up. So he'd vanish to his hideaway and start making fresh plans.


LOL dangit, MMI, now i gotta reply!!!

No one knows what/when they will make a move-which is why no one can do a thing...but in the meantime, they are able to slide by under the law's radar and learn our systems, our ways, and blend in quite well. In the USA, we accept aliens and i (believe it or not) don't believe in being prejudiced about it all- everyone deserves their shot.

My experiences with most folks of middle eastern heritage has been bad...with the exception of a family from India, who i met while on a trip to Dallas. These people were absolutely wonderful to me and my son. They treated us like family, even though they knew us for a whole 20 minutes. We were welcomed with hugs the minute the door opened to us, given all sorts of treats and the family matriarch stroked my son's face and told him that she hoped he would never forget her. She fed him multiple times-"here, try this," and "oh, you'll like that" He won't forget her. Smiles and peace filled their house, which was also very lovely. i could have stayed in that house forever, and been so very happy. The matriarch told us to come back and visit any time we wish, and if we ever need anything at all, please, to let them know, "we're all family on this earth ."

i can't say that any American-born citizen has ever treated me quite so well. I wish the whole world behave in such a manner. i hate war. i hate wondering if i'm going to wake up tomorrow to the radio telling me that we are under attack, like i did on 9/11, or hear that we're all gonna die because some chicken turd has spiked our water supply three days ago. And i wish i knew what to do to prevent it all.

MMI, i fully understand your position and support it, just like i support and understand Master's opinion. Trying to change someone's mind about such things will take much more than words. Everyone's experiences create their opinions. Master has a Government Job, and He sees, almost on a daily basis, some of the evidence and intel that you and i don't. Right or wrong, His opinion is not just based upon what He THINKS might be happening.

This is absolutely my last post in this thread-i really do hate to argue...no, really!
