... is something we have had to hear from Dubya in many occasions, as he talked of "crusades" and "terrorists" and embarked in bombing campaigns in the Middle East (two down, two to go).
So what the US government is doing now is deporting 13,000 Muslims and Arabs after they fully co-operated in the witch-hunt that followed the 9/11 attacks.
There are several ways to read this. One of them is that this is yet another racist, knee-jerk and imbecile move by the US administration.
I'd be especially interested in knowing pnj's opinion on this, since he's been constantly talking about Bush working to "improve relations with the Arab and Muslim world and turn them against anger and terrorism directed at the US".
Well I must say Bush has a very funny way of improving relations with the Arab world. :rolleyes:

I wonder what Blair will say about it?
I am beginning to get the impression that the US administration is genuinely run by incompetent idiots, I thought there wree some intelligent people behind the scenes but maybe I was wrong........
Complete "fascists" is more to the point!
It seems to me that they're just deporting those who would have been deported if the authorities had known sooner. Yeah, it's harsh, racist, and punishing those who want to remain in America, but doesn't seem that illegal to me. Just incredibly unfair.
Surely a counterproductive security measure? (apart from the added resentment)
