Slagothor: In a perfect world

Quote:

In a perfect world, the UAE would be loudly declaring things like:
- we arrested and imprisoned every radical in the country after 9/11
- mosques and imams are closely monitored for any "radical" words or actions
- the population is strongly encouraged to keep a keen eye on their neighbors and report any suspicious behavior to the police
- we have US air bases in this country
- we buy military equipment and donate it to the Iraq army
- we pay for training of the Iraq army
- we cooperate fully with US-led terrorsit investigations
- we have cleaned up our banking laws to the point that they are stricter than most
- acts of terrorism hurt us more than you because we rely on trade and the free movement of people.

Terrorism makes those things more difficult, and us poorer.

Read the whole thing. And give the man his own blog.
