28. You're talking about preemptive war...
The legitimacy of preemptive attack is debatable as far as international law goes (although I don't think there is an actual treaty for it).

By including all Arabs as possible terrorists, this policy promotes racism and genocide as a solution for the safety of Americans. I doubt that the firemen who died in the twin towers would condone such a bigoted solution for their deaths. Those who are willing to die out of love for their fellow man are usually extremely careful before they support political policies that might kill others. Would you want to die or kill others for an agenda (Iraq) that has dubious credentials?
Gosh, I would want to read the small print first (and not just sound bites).
