Just as the US didn't want Communists running our security

company involved with our ports?



Since you are unable to distinguish between an individual's professed
ideology and his country of origin, as you obviously are not, there's
little
point in continuing the discussion.

I'm talking US security measures. Did you know Americans holding US
security clearances can't even travel to certain countries? Ideology does
really have very little to do with it, it's a question of risk to vital
American interests.

BTW, the arguments you set forth strongly suggest than all Arabs,
Pakistanis
and Iranians should be prohibited from holding NYC taxi drivers'
licenses.


In your mind it may.

Then, by your arguments it is perfectly ok for any foriegner to carry Bush's
nuclear football and the codes!
