Question

I was shocked when British officials announced that two of the terrorists' who concocted last week's attacks on the UK where DOCTORS. What is American authories doing to suppress these dangerous extremists who camouflage themselves in our society ?

P.S. best answer goes to the most insightful reponse.

Answer 1

Good morning...That's a very good question...I have asked this same question myself. I don't like to stereotype people but I have noticed just in the past 10 years on how many foreigners from India, Pakistan, Iraq and others alike have come to America and either started their own business such as Convenient marts or Dr's, or similar to where I feel that our Homeland Security needs to get on the ball. Now 10/15 yrs ago our country wasn't in much of a threat as it is today. And according to some experts on terrorists they have been in our country for yrs planning and excavating plans on their future attacks against America. Our Homeland Security needs to perform background cks on these certain individuals that have been setting up shop so do speak and has resided in our country for yrs., not just the ones that have come recently to our country or on visa's or tourists. These certain individuals could be our teachers, scientists, doctors or business owner or a factory worker or even a police officer or fireman. We don't actually know. Our country is vulnerable right now due to our military deployed overseas. We need more protection and more severe screening and comprehensive background cks to improve our security system against these inhuman terrorists. The British were on the ball and saved lives, I just hope our Homeland Security is as good. Have a blessed day!

Answer 2

We won't be able to do anything, sad to say, until another 9/11 or worse. The reason being, is so many people in this country don't actually believe we have people in this world that would love to turn America into a smoldering crater.
We have people like Cindy Sheehan telling us to leave the poor innocent Al Qauda alone, even after they murdered her son. Everyone is convinced WE are the bad guy, the bully, so on and so forth.
I think a majority of people in this country forgot how it felt that day to see planes flying into the two most prominent buildings in this country.
People keep demanding we pull out of Iraq and come back home and just sit idly by and wait until we are atacked again.
I honestly don't see us stopping them, at least not until a few more thousand innocent lives are lost on our own soil, because we have so many people in this country aiding and sympathizing them.

Answer 3

Well, the honest to God truth is "We don't know"

But don't take that the wrong way, that's a good thing, because if we don't know, then they don't know, and that's how they get caught. Take for example the program that the NSA had to track terrorists banking activities. Terrorist attacks require supplies, which requires money. If we track terrorist money we find terrorist, this is a simple yet effective tactic and it will probably be years before we ever know just how much it helped. However, as soon as the Treason (NY) Times leaked the program to the entire world, it became useless. Terrorists changed their banking accounts, switched to new "clean" names and we're back to square one trying to find out where to look.

Another good program was tapping the overseas phone calls of people on terrorism watch lists. I know this caught a lot of political flak in the media (does that really surprise you?) but you have to consider what it is and how you get listed. You're not going to be put on a terrorism watch list for J-Walking, or shoplifting or running a red light. No, as much as some people would like you to believe this, it isn't true. The people who end up on these lists have direct links to terrorist or terrorist friendly orginizations. Often we get their names from ledgers, notebooks and other intel we recover from raids or from direct interogation of capture terrorists. That's how we got convicted treasonist Jose Padilla's info from Khalid Sheik Mohamed after a few nice minutes of the NONLETHAL interogation technique of waterboarding. Anyway, if your name comes up in any of these ways, the terrorist no doubtedly have your name, so in the 1 in a million chance you are innocent, you have a hell of a lot more to worry about then an overseas phone call be tapped. That being said, these people's phones are monitored for overseas activity and conversations are recorded that lead to good intel. Again, it will take years for this information to become declassified, so we don't know for sure how much, if at all it has helped. And, again, after the Treason Times leaked the whole program to the public, the terrorists now know of this tactic as well, and have changed things up, putting us back to square one again.

The bottom line we CAN NOT honestly know what is being done to protect us because if we know, the terrorist will know. They get 80% of their intel on us from public information. I just rest easy knowing that, aside from wartime incidents, America hasn't been attack in almost 6 years now. That's the longest stretch of time since I can remember. We must be doing something right.

Answer 4

Unyielding foreign policy. Show them resolve and strength abroad and they are less likely to commit terrorist acts on American soil. It has worked since 9/11.

ArgleBargleWoogleBoo's answer above illustrates how woefully uninformed most are on the left. Since 1970 slightly more than 6000 Americans have been killed by Mid East terrorism, granted a relatively small number in the grand scheme. But, you ARE NOT more likely to by attacked by a shark or killed by lightning. In this same period less than 1500 shark attacks have occurred in the United States (with only a percentage of those resulting in death). In this same time period, slightly more than 2400 Americans have been killed by lightning.

So, the statistics indicate you ARE more likely to be killed by Mid East terrorists than sharks or lightning.

Answer 5

Jingoistic nonsense. Be afraid of all the brown skinned doctors.

On the other side of the world, a group of Muslim doctors in Great Britain staged two amateurish acts of political theater which experts have said would likely have caused little real loss of life (had not one of them managed to set fire to himself. The result? The news media here at home stages a three ring circus of terra.

Meanwhile, at our own back door, in Burleson, Texas, just a few miles from Dallas, several young men were apprehended as they were attempting to detonate a bomb. A real bomb, capable of doing real damage. This all happened on Wednesday. They were also members of a religious cult which advocates violence to purge the world of sin. The difference? These boys are good ol' boys from Texas. They are named Dayton and Michael, and they are Christians--which is why you probably haven't heard a word about them.

Answer 6

1st, it was much more than 2 doctors that apparently made threats toward the US. They said today that some of the UK bombers had been in contact with Al-Qaeda.

We can't get rid of all of them, that's the bad thing. Blessings like the Patriot Act have helped this process but there is so much controversy over it and things like it that it's hard to keep going.

Answer 7

We have been tapping telephones in us of a, however the democrats sense that our own protection is far less substantial than the privateness of our telephone calls. we'd have began 'exterminating' them way in the previous the Bush administration, however the previous administration did no longer think of that terrorism became that massive of a raffle, even inspite of the incontrovertible fact that an American development have been given bombed, 2 American embassies have been given bombed, and a US naval warship have been given bombed by ability of terrorists. we could desire to start tapping telephones and raiding properties. of direction, the dems could have a heart attack, yet in my opinion, i could desire to care much less if my telephone is tapped, as long as tapping telephones is holding us of a safer, so be it. we could desire to start infiltrating mosques and searching out who recruits terrorists interior the U. S. and Britain. we've carried out lots in us of a to surrender terrorist assaults. The dems whinge that Bush has created further and extra terrorists because of the fact of his movements, yet they fail to show that as a results of Bush's movements, you spot further and extra terrorist assaults being foiled. human beings and Britains could desire to work out that terrorism is a real possibility and we could desire to continuously sacrifice some freedoms to maintain us secure.

Answer 8

Worry about being in a car crash, having a heart attack/cancer, getting struck by lightning, or being bit by a shark first. All are far more likely for an american than being involved in a terrorist attack.

Just shutting off the Fox Hysteria Channel would be a good start.

Answer 9

"Exterminate potential terrorists"

Ever wonder WHY there are terrorists? That kind of thinking, right there.

Answer 10

we cant afford the first one and the bill hasn't come in yet. get out the credit card again Georgie, the middle class still has 56.39 left.
