Its also problematic as its census time and this Congress gets to do the gerrymandering so I imagine its only get worse. My question is why doesn't Obama give another speech to the Muslim world explaining that we are just like them again. He can hand out free burkas this time, maybe insist American women wear them, Michelle won't mind. That 100 mile district is in Florida from Jacksonville to near Orlando I believe.

I suspect no better than the average Joe. Most Americans have their little panties in a wad over the boogie-man named Osama. Jesus Christ, boneheads--stop behaving like the group of wussies you most certainly are. Get bin Laden, go to the source, kill him and his henchmen, and stop the f-ing hand wringing. And in addition--stop taking away my rights as a free citizen so you can feel safer in a dangerous world. I'm not your f-ing nanny. Grow up, grab the nearest spine and act like a real American. This can't do attitude of yours only serves to make the enemy stronger. You got what you deserve in That One--he's just like you. How is That One doing on the terror issue?

USA could bar all who have been to Yemen . Not many people would be affected. Ditto Nigeria . Here very many would be & would be very angry that their countrymen were shutting off their chances of progress.   Just not to be discriminatory -cut off ALL visits by All citizens of a country whose citizens attack US ar traffic . maybe only 1 -3 months. Eg after The ShoeBomber ...noone from Britain !  Then there would be enormous domestic pressure on Britain's muslims & yes they have all been Muslims..  Timmy – maybe not that!

I am the daughter of a Foreign Service Officer and you are right, diplomats are not warriors. At least not in that job. Many of them are former warriors, but diplomacy is supposed to prevent wars, not start them. Back before the Iranian take-over of the US Embassy in 1979, embassies were literally sacred ground. One DID NOT ATTACK AN EMBASSY, and diplomats were off limits too. What people seem to forget is that the diplomatic corps is the oldest, largest and most secure communications network in the world. It goes back for literally thousands of years through human history. And with very few exceptions, such as the Persians(old habits die hard!) doing in Genghis Khan's embassy and sending their ears back in a small box, for which he killed their embassy, and promptly laid waste to Persia, the diplomatic immunity has been respected by everyone. I have traveled in war zones with no more protection than my diplomatic passport. It was all I needed to be safe from both sides in the conflict. Sadly, that is no longer the case. The diplomats have been catapulted from the safety of diplomatic immunity into extreme danger from whatever nut has a grievance against their country. I personally feel that the lack of respect for the diplomatic status is a sign of the downfall of civilization. After all, the worst people in history, Hitler, Stalin, etc. honored diplomatic status.
