I'm really disgusted with Americans. I was listening to CSPAN-2 yesterday, and viewers were calling in voicing their opinions. One man from Seattle or Portland stated that we should put people of Middle Eastern descent into Internment camps, like we did with the Japanese-Americans during WWII, to alleviate the threat of more terrorist attacks. Another caller suggested we deport all Middle Easterners who are not American citizens back to their country of origin within 30-60 days, "whatever is feasible," and also to close our borders to anyone who holds a passport from any Middle Eastern country.

This man disgusts me, Congressman Bob Barr from Georgia. He's introduced a bill to allow American-sanctioned assasinations against our enemies. I guess it's more straightforward to do this then hiring another Country to do the dirty work for us. What a demagogue - using WTC to further a cause of his!

Maybe we should be leary about placing blame on any organization; it is possible to manipulate evidence and facts to make it look as though another group or organization perpetrated this mass chaos. Anyone remember The Sixth Amendment, the right to a fair trial? Though this is an American "virtue," I think "innocent until proven guilty" is only fair and just.

Are we becoming a facist nation?
