Do you realize how offensive the term "rag heads" is?  We should be above
using derogatory language when we refer to other people.  By the way we
can route them with military might and they can still carry out covert
terrorist actions.  Terrorists exist in every country and they seem to be
quite angry at this moment.  That said I still think some kind of limited
military strike is warrented.  Bomb the terrorist camps and their military
installations.

I also feel President Bush is doing a fine job.  He's shown some
restraint, and is looking for ways to provide aid to those who are fleeing
Afghanistan.  He also has many very capapble people on his staff to rely
in.  Part of good leadership is putting good people in positions of
influence and giving them the room to work.

That said I do get worried about some of their decisions when they start
talking about expanding police powers and limiting freedom.  Checks and
balances always need to exist.

RACIAL PROFILING IS NEVER OK.  When the only basis for checking or
stopping someone is their race we lose the thing that makes this country
great - freedom.  I find it amusing that most people who find racial
profiling to be OK tend to be white, middle class Americans.  Their OK
with it because they are not the ones stopped based on race.  If all white
men were stopped after Tim McVeigh carried out his act you would probably
be up in arms.
