This decision is the inevitable outcome of President Bush not asking for, and receiving, a Congressional Declaration of War against Al Qeada. In the immediate months following Sept 11,2001, Congress and the Nation was predisposed to such a declaration. A declaration against Al Qeada only, no inclusion of any existing states would have been an extremely useful tool for America to deal with terrorists and those nations that harbor them (Pakistan, for example, with whom we do much trade). America could have then sought Al Qeada wherever they were, held them without trial, and still been in compliance with Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2. of the Constitution. But no. The Bush’s, like the Kennedy’s, always leave America worse off than before.

I had the exact same thought when I heard about this asinine decision this morning, and Rush Limbaugh later echoed my thoughts on the radio. The only reason these monsters are alive to begin with is because we chose not to kill them on the battlefield. It is simple logic, and you can bet that most soldiers will grasp it. Basically, the court is sending the message: Take no prisoners.

This has nothing to do with your post but I had to share with someone. lol Score one for LEGAL immigration. After FOUR long years of waiting, three interviews, five sets of fingerprints, two medicals, the three year long process of the FBI name check (don’t get me started on the inefficiency of that), two inquiries by Congressmen…. we have a Green Card! (son-in-law from Russia) The LEGAL way. Was it easy? Nope. Was it worth it? You bet. No hiding here. Yes it would be nice if they would streamline the process, get rid of some the redundancy built into it but it’s still the best way to come. Legally!
