Some of that enmity from foreign groups is spawned from our own foreign policy - and the way in which we enforce it. Some of it is seen in the news, while much of it, I can only imagine, is unseen and perhaps strong-armed and offensive to those whom we traffic with.

There's a price to pay when you're king of the hill - you gotta keep knocking people off to stay up there. Every now and then though, we'll get punched back. That's what we're feeling now. It would be too easy to simply stop enforcing the policies and desires that our government deems necessary to maintain, or even improve, the lifestyle of Americans. But simply sitting back and accepting others as equals, or even dominants, isn't in our nature. So we continue to struggle to be number 1 in the world.

To answer the original question, you first have to put it in context with the above. Is it morally right to single out one ethnic group and profile them? Is it practical? What would we gain other than the sanctioned separation of a race as we have done in the past?

In my opinion, overt profiling isn't the answer. However, law enforcement groups and the intelligence community should be supported by the government and people to use methods and technology that allows them to do their jobs without hampering the lifestyle and freedoms enjoyed by US citizens. Profiling does not have to be a public concern - but it may be a consequence of good police work. If law enforcement personnel keep their eyes on suspicious people, is it really profiling, or just being vigilant?
