Homegrown Terror Prevention Act

I know that the people who see themselves as waging war on America, who are not American, Muslims in particular; are not doing so because of our "freedoms". Oh there are those who see our freedom, and use of our freedom as an encroachment on their society. IE...pornography as freedom of expression is readily available through the press, cinema, and internet. These are the same people who would throw acid in the face of a car driver for wearing a seatbelt...because it's depriving Allah the privilege of taking his life in an accident. These guys are a minority. The minority sure has a track record for making the biggest problems.

I think it is a very immature attitude to think we are not responsible at some degree, great or small, for creating our enemies.

It is indeed a big ball of wax eh? The bottom line for me, is that our enemies are there, regardless of how they were created. They are real, and we do need to take action. There is a full spectrum of action as well, many different paths to take, some simultaneously. I am not a foreign policy maker, except at the voting booth. Nor am I am foreign policy expert. I'm sure action should include those actions that will build the good will we once had in the world. Boy will that take about a generation. Long term thinking isn't our forte, though.
