Yep. It is the right of every country to deny access to a person, if
they feel threatened by this person. But the draconinc measures it
takes, makes travelling for those with good intentions difficult too,
and the system is not bulletproof. America has a very very long
border, and your coastguard and customs-officials can't be
everywhere. IMHO you would be better off making your country a less
likely target for terrorism.


Fine. So let every minority pressure group get their way. Pull back all
financial aide for everyone. And let everything outside of your own shores
turn to ****. Then another set of terrorists will be doing god knows what
until someone does something to help them. You can't please all of the
people all of the time. Somebody somewhere will always be disatisfied.
Somehow they will reason that all the problems they face are your fault.
Especially if you are a particularly well off country and the disgruntled
bloke comes from an obscure **** ant little country who are slaughtering
each other cos they disagree over how they should worship god.
