And you should recall the thousands of American soldiers in Iraq who didn't abuse Iraqis instead of talking incessantly about a few bad apples. Of course, even the few bad apples in the US military didn't do harm that is in any way comparable to the harm that AQ has done. Remember that, too.

Have one of those degrees myself. I went to law school because of the low salaries you earn as a scientist or engineer in the US. To up your salary, you either go get an MBA or a JD and transition into management or law. The reason the salaries are so low, and thus fewer US students are attracted to these curriculums, is because of the high percentage of 3rd world types in these programs. Many stay after graduating and will work for less money. Worse yet, some go back home and the US corporations off shore the work to them, putting further negative pressure on the US salaries in these fields.
It wouldn't be the end to those programs. Would they scale them back? Sure, but how does that hurt the US? All it would do is increase the salaries of US based scientists and engineers and make it more attractive of a curriculum for US students to pursue.
