I think it's even possible - possible - that the wholesale rounding up of swarthies or whatever you call them post-9/11 averted other attacks. But at what cost? It's a short term solution to a long term problem unless we want to just seal our borders and reject the notion of a pluralistic society.

Nobody was advocating rounding up Arabs. What was being debated was whether they could investigate (not roundup) non-American Arab men in flying schools specifically because they were non-American Arab and the biggest terrorist threats to the US were coming from non-American muslims, in particular Arab muslims.
That is it. Just investigate to see why there were so many non-American Arabs in American flying schools. But that is racial/ethnic/religious profiling and the PC crowd says there is something morally wrong with that.

Nothing I have said suggests that. Why are you even saying that? UBL dead is a good thing. If he had been killed 8 years ago, it might have stopped 9/11. But killing him in the 9 months preceeding 9/11 wouldn't have helped.
