Reply #92: It was a very real thing for people

[lumpy]

in the US when the towers and Pentagon was attacked. Some of us knew people who were killed in those attacks. It was very real to innocent ethnic mid-east people in this country whose property was appropriated and taken into custody without charge because of the attacks and the fact they descended from a 'different' culture. Yes, it is easy to pass judgment. The alternative solution is to refrain from using brutal methods commonly used in mid-east countries who's people are immune to strong-arm tactics and live with death every day of their lives. If we become nations innured to this sort of irresponsible taking of life, we will lose the freedom to live without fear of authority.
