If the USA is attacked again

Do you think Americans would attack Muslim holy sites if our country was attacked again? For the last week I have seen TOO many cops protecting Muslim schools and mosques in New York City and the surrounding suburbs. I know on 9-11 some of these sites showed pleasure because of the attacks but something must be going on since they stepped up security.

Not if Kerry is elected and the liberals have their way.
We will all join hands and sing kumbyyah while lamenting the loss of a single child that could occur if we did anything about the attacks[}:)]
Then we will have to go into 2 or 3 years of negotiations with our "partners" and if they dont want us to then we cant and wont.
And of course lets remember that even if our partners say ok, we have to do it in a more "sensative" manner. Cant use all that nasty old body armor and bombs and things, its just not fair.
Nope, we will put a few token UN troops in harms way, not give them any bullets and when some of them get killed we will pull the rest out and then say " Well, we tried", now time for more taxes to pay for it.

If we don't know who and where the enemy is, other than an unspecified THEM, how can we pick out an appropriate target for retaliation?
I recognize our troops have been trained by the Israelis, but I don't think bombing a civilian target ala Israel to show resolve and/or anger is justified--either militarily or morally.
Just lashing out, as many here often do, is useless and wastes effort.
Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.
So far as too many police protecting school and religios centers like mosques, well isn't that what the police are supposed to be doing? Exactly how well received were the church burnings of the South during the 1950's and early 1960's among the people in the rest of the United States? How many enjoyed seeing black children threatend, insulted and terrorized on their way to school? What were the opinions of people sitting at home watching TV who saw police standing by and doing nothing while civil rights marchers were dragged out of line and beaten? Those incidents did not do much to further states rights did they? They did put the Civil Rights Act on the fast track though! Having the police fail to protect schools and mosques in NY would have the same effect among otherwise disinterested Americans who may well begin to feel sorry for the Muslims much like previously disinterested whites in northern states discovered a new found sympathy for blacks protecting their rights.

If America is attacked again we (I say we as in our government and lobbyists since they neither listen to the people nor care about the people) will do the same old song and dance and pass a few new laws, lose a few civil liberties, and in the end, not do too much.
Sorry for being pessimistic, but I can't help it.

I understand those who were sent to the camps also had their property confiscated--which was then given to those "patriotic" Americans who were clamoring to have their neighbors incarcerated. Most of the farms were very productive.
From what I recall, the US Government has belatedly said, "Gee, sorry about that, here's a couple of bucks for your troubles. Now go way." [:(][:(]

Since you live in a college town (smarts ain't rubbing off, are they) and it is obvious you don't attend school, maybe, if you try really hard, you can respond to the question:
WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST AS A TARGET?

I'm not positive but I think the claim of "muslims celebrating in the streets in America" was proven false.

A soldier back from Irag spoke to a class we recently hosted on gun safety and hunting issues. He told us a number of captured Iraqi soldiers had identification cards issued through the Indiana BMV. One of Bin Laden's key generals, if you care to call him that, was a student at this college. Northwest of us near Plainfield, Indiana is the largest Islmaic center in the midwest. You never see any cars there. I sometimes wonder ,as I am sure those who live within a hare's breath of the place, if there is anything at all going on there either good or bad. Sort of leaves us to draw our own conclusions about the place.

There won't be anymore problems.
You two should do a little reading to find out how many of those "innocent" Japanese that were rounded-up after Pearl Harbor were actually in this country for subversive purposes.
If you can't tell the good ones from the bad there's no choice but to target them all.
If we get hit again by raghead terrorists we should start to methodically rid the world of ALL of those types. And what better place to start than here at home?

We won't be able to do much, anyway, if by some fluke Kerry gets elected, because we won't have any guns to defend ourselves with. I guess we'll just have to do it the liberal way, and get a good description and call the police. Let them handle it. They are trained in the use of firearms.
And this has come to pass,not to stay.

Happened here. A mosque in Denver was severely damaged on 9/11. Some of the muslims were cheering, and some good folks who disapproved began running over the fences and gates in their trucks and tearing the place up. No one was killed, but if it happened again I would bet on much higher casualties than property alone. Also, one of the local gas stations (arab owned) was fire bombed with molotovs.

[8D]WE hvae emminent domain for city/govt owned property, why can't we shut down all Muslim Mosques and associates?[}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]

You can't use emminent domain laws on Homestead Titles. It has to be classified as a primary resident.
Why didn't we also intern Germans? After all, there was an active Nazi Party in this country at the time. Some of its members were jailed after Germany declared war on us but many of its members were allowed to live in their homes, own businesses and carry on.
No, the incarceration of the Japanese was racially motivated. It was also motivated by greed, since many Japanese Americans worked hard and had nice farms, houses and businesses to show for their efforts.
And why didn't we incarcerate Italian Americans? Italy was our enemy too.
What makes America great is its longstanding ideal of, "We don't care about your relgion, color, beliefs, social status or legal practices. Everyone is equal here."
Notice I said "ideal" because we all know that isn't the true history of America. But it's something many Americans have strived here. If America can be summed in one word, it would be "equality."
We haven't achieved that one word in this country, but we're closer than many other countries. Equality brings freedom.
At best, everyone in America is treated equally. So, why would you propose violence on Mosques? Strikes me as decidedly un-American.
It's not new to propose that one group be rounded up and their property confiscated or destroyed. A mere 70 years ago, a man named Hitler came to power and proposed that very thing.
The Japanese did it to the Chinese. The North Koreans did it to their countrymen. Our ancestors did it to the Native Americans.
America isn't perfect, but it's freer than most countries, if not all. The loss of freedom to any group is a loss to all of us, and American ideals.
Both my parents fought the Nazis in World War II. My father as an American G.I. (with a decidedly German name. He always feared being taken prisoner, as he'd heard that the Germans were particularly brutal on those of German ancestry, for having betrayed their "race.").
My mother fought the Germans as a member of the Belgian Resistance. Twice, she was imprisoned by the Gestapo in San Gilles Prison in Brussels. Her first husband, a Belgian Resistance leader, was executed by the Nazis.
When she met my father, an American G.I., she was a 27-year-old widow.
America is for ALL of us, not just Christians, heterosexuals, whites or Republicans. Once you start proposing that, you may as well join the ranks who sang of Horst Wessel in the local bundt.
"A hit with a .22 is better than a miss with a .44!"
a couple of you people need to ask your self, If most of the muslims is this country and around the world are good people, peacefull and ect then ask yourself why dont they help root out the trash of their religion and prove that they truly are a religion of peace and ect..which i think is a load of bull sh it myself. in my mind they have to prove this because they are the ones who have the bullseye on them.
if we are hit again we should vaporise a terrorist country" and which one doesnt natter to me" and then tell the if they dont straighten up and rid their countries of this kinda trash we then ask who wants to be next!
Here's a clue: Which one attacked us?
Some people see "racism" in everything. I've no doubt if I killed an armed black man for busting into my house in the middle of the night, there are those in our society - and sadly on this board - who would shriek "racism."
When's the last time you heard of a minority being charged with a "hate crime?"
