ANTHRAX IN A CAN
When a lone terrorist can decimate a city with a Coke can full of anthrax
it’s time to rethink our policies. Over six million 40x8x8 foot containers
enter our ports annually and less than six percent are inspected. It only
takes one container to conceal weapons that could wipe out an entire city. In
a post 9/11 world, countries should be as self sufficient as possible we cannot
trade with those we cannot trust--survival has to take precedence over
commerce. As one sage said, `Patriots place country before commerce-traitors
place commerce before country. `
There is no way to stop terrorists intent on committing suicide other than to
keep them out of the country. Once they are inside the country, it’s
doubtful whether they can be stopped. We need an immediate immigration
moratorium, strict interior enforcement and the use of the National Guard plus
state and local police to backup our undermanned Border Patrol. If our
politicians refuse to change course, the outlook for the future is bleak.
