My 'apologies' for breaking your little rule. I just don't have that much time right now as I am in Afghanistan with about 5,000 of my buddies trying to track down the Terrorists to ensure we don't have another Sep 11 situation.




Whoa, dude, where did THAT come from? We seem to have jumped - spectacularly even for this group's standards - from Immigration to your tour of duty in one fell swoop. Holy non sequitur, Batman! And although I suspect Dwight is a big boy now and can pull up his trousers all by himself, I'm not sure the comparison of Dwight to a member of the Taliban is fair or accurate. Granted he is now sporting a beard and isn't a big fan of Christianity, but that's about as close to the Taliban as he gets.

Now, if the changes in immigration policy make it easier to have "guest workers," then this is where the challenge of potential terrorism comes in. I appreciate that your own role in counter-terrorism is one measure to be taken, but considering that the 9/11 folks were (a) Saudis and (b) in the US via legal visas, there are other avenues on ingress for terrorists that need to be monitored and shored up pretty tightly. Remember that a "guest worker" could be anyone of any nationality - and then again, nationality is not necessarily tied to religious fanticism or political affiliation.

Keep up the good work, Cruiser, but don't get drawn into the insidious mindset of thinking that dissent equals consent for the enemy. Even Dwight's taxes pay for the ammunition!

If life wasn't so pointless and absurd, I would take it more seriously.
