Quote From: terrylee_1949I have read the replies from people in Canada & Australia and I have to tell you they make more sense then our Government here in the United States. I'm a Ex Captain in the 173d Army Airborne Rangers and I can't believe that I fought and we still have Service men/women fighting and dying, so that our Government can aloow people like this to come and go to our Country anytime they feel like it. This is Totally Wrong.... Lets' Learn form our friends from Canada, Australia, etc..... His whole family should never never never get another VISA form our Government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the reasons for people in Australia & Canada making more sense is simply this:
Teach the American people about the rest of the world!
The American is totally ignorant about the rest of the world. It is about time that the US changes their school curriculum and teaches everybody about the rest of the world and not just the 50 States.
Back to the Katherine saga:
It is pathetic indeed that "never getting a visa ever for the US" is punishment enough!
If the father arrives in US again, as he is supposed to do regularly, then he should be charged with aiding a minor (when she was 16) to leave for Palelstine and locked up. Let us see if a Palestinian 'Dr Mustafa' (sorry Dr Phil) would have a satellite link up to try to get that Palestinian family back together? Not on your life. They see things differently, and that is why I have suggested that US schools teach Americans about the rest of the world
Another thing is this, freedom is not the ultimate; vis a vis personal freedoms, when it goes against the majority. This simply means that ONE person claiming his/her rights to personal freedom can escape punishment for something that could place in danger the majority.
