Gore Laments U.S. 'Abuses' Against Arabs

Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.
"The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake," Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. "The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."
Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."
My ass! What about lamenting the terror attacks committed by Saudi nationals? What about lamenting the fact that the Saudi’s are doing little or nothing to stop the terrorists that are pouring over their borders into Iraq? What about the abuses to women and children by Muslims? I for one am glad they are rounding up these people. How safe would we really be if they were left to run around and possibly plan or commit other acts of terror? If they are over here illegally or are people of interest, pick them up, hold them, question them, and then ship them back to where they came from if their freedom is warranted. Better yet, close the boarders. Gore, just does not support the United States on issues of homeland security. It's obvious who holds our safety and well being as a high priority, and who doesn't. This is just another reason I thank God this guy isn't the President of the United States.
