We get security briefings and Intel about every country we fly into before and after we are there and let me tell you, they don't care what race you are. If you are American you're in danger of something happening to you.
I don't care what race you are, if you look suspicious to someone in security you're getting searched. Plain and simple. I'm not saying profiling is right or wrong. They both have pros and cons depending on who you talk to.
Just try to think of what this world would be like if the U.S. stayed out of everyone's affairs and let them fend for themselves like some countries are doing today. I personally believe the government needs to start trying to fix the problems this country has before it goes off trying to fix another country's.
We are at war in Iraq and against terrorism. Try to keep that in mind. I was deployed to Spain for an exercise for September Th and was woken up in the middle of the day to be told that my country that I love and respect was under attack by cowards that took thousands of innocent lives....and for what? because they hated us? Because some coward that hides in a cave tells them to? I am never going to forget what those terrorists did to our nation that day.
