Lately, the focus on the War on Terror has fallen on Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, and London.
So far, weapons used by terrorists in these places have been conventional.
Here is the scenario that causes me to lose sleep at night:
Extremists in Pakistan have made several attempts to kill President Musharraf.
Pakistan has demonstrated the ability to detonate nuclear weapons.
Extremists will continue to try to eliminate Musharraf as a moderating influence in Pakistan.
If they succeed in assassinating him, they can take control of a government with a proven nuclear arsenal, and technologists with the ability to use those weapons.
India and Pakistan have, on several occasions, come to blows in their conflict over who owns Kashmir.
Will Islamic extremists use those weapons to settle the argument with India, OR.........
Will they try to sneak those weapons into New York or Baltimore harbor?
Can we sit and wait for them to make that decision?
Comforting, huh?

Nope, ..I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense. As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."
Come on people wake up!!! Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your address book. Our Country and our troops need our support.
And guess who just bombed London?
