Acknowledging evil

Evil exists in the world. As blatant of a fact as this is, liberals tend to deny it, calling evil 'culture' instead and labeling those who oppose this evil-minded 'culture' as imperialistic, racist and intolerant.\nLiberals use their politically correct terminology with little opposition. Anyone attempting to call evil by its name is immediately blamed for spewing hatred. \nUnfortunately, this politically correct, culturally-sensitive stance has ushered in some of the world's worst villains. The U.S. has practically laid out a welcome mat for those wishing to destroy our free country. \nTake Johnelle Bryant, for example. Bryant, a Department of Agriculture official, met with Mohammed Atta, who applied for a $650,000 government loan to finance a crop-dusting business. The plane he wanted to buy would have been used for the attack on the World Trade Center. In this meeting, Atta made his terrorist intent obvious. Bryant could have alerted proper authorities and brought the plan to a halt. Instead, Bryant confessed she wanted to "help (Atta) make his relocation into our country as easy for him as I could." \nWhy should the U.S. allow terrorists like Atta the right to relocate in the U.S. anyway? The U.S. currently gives too many immigrants undue rights without extensive background checks. The U.S. has a duty to its citizens to keep immigrants with ill motives out. \nIn the real world, anyone who still refuses to acknowledge cultural evil and join Bush's war on terrorism should be spotlighted as a force hindering the pursuit of justice. Sadly, though, the media continues to feed this bleeding-heart mentality, dreading offending Islamic 'culture.' \nDuring the past decade, the U.S. experienced a few relatively small acts of terrorism carried out by Islamic extremists. Clinton did nothing to punish them and the media glossed over the situation, failing to accentuate that the terrorists were militant Islamic terrorists. The problem has escalated and now we all must confront the evil that resides outside our borders.\nThe most important thing the U.S. should do to begin correcting this disaster is to tighten border security. Until we get this big hole fixed, we are wasting our time with other security measures. Sadly, the INS remains shackled by this culturally-sensitive mentality, allowing millions of illegal immigrants in each year.\nNext, the U.S. should focus intently on stopping real, known terrorists from entering the U.S by profiling. Right now we are targeting innocent Americans instead of catching the evil perpetrators. \nAl Gore, who was recently searched at a U.S. airport checkpoint, was unusually happy to be chosen for the frisking. One can only wonder how he can be happy knowing that while airport security examined him, terrorists may have been snidely walking through unchecked.\nOkay, and if some bad ones do slip through the cracks, then what do we do? Well for one, pilots should be required to carry guns in the cockpit, as a way to defend not only themselves, but also the remaining crew and passengers. For those who oppose this position, think about this. If you fear that arming a pilot will encourage potential fatalities, why would you want these pilots flying planes at all? It doesn't take a gun to kill someone. These pilots have an important responsibility and they need proper defense.\nThere is nothing wrong with racial profiling. Our current enemy (among many others) is the cadre of Arab Islamic extremists. Since we know who our enemy is, the best thing to do is carefully scrutinize the entry of Arab or Muslim non-U.S. citizens. This sort of racial profiling should not be mistaken as cultural insensitivity; such scrutiny crucially protects the U.S. from outside evil. Without such protection, we are doomed.
