"That would largely be irrelevent. It makes no difference to me whether the the motive is the destruction of the US."

Now I think I understand your position. It looks like you haven't yet grasped the concept that the USA is at war with an enemy that wants to kill all of us. They don't care if you are black, white, brown, yellow, red or blue. They don't care what your religious beliefs are or if you have any. They don't care about your origins, be it birthplace, nationality, gender, age, guilt or innocence, they want us all dead because we are Americans. Thats their goal, those are the conditions of their war against America. They are amongst us as they were 9/11/01.

You can continue to compare acts committed by selected hate-filled people in this country to al-Qaida, but they aren't even close to being the same. Since you seem so willing to toss groups like the KKK into the discussion, how about the crips and bloods and drive-by's?

We are at war Pete. We aren't looking for criminals, we are lookimg for people who want to kill all of us.
