It was the 'facts on the ground' that would influence the future and help us understand the past. We might debate the meaning of it all and we were free to debate the events that triggered changes.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sigcarlfred.blogspot.com/2008/01/future-lens.html">Nowadays, however, things are different. Today, as we noted, 'facts on the ground' take a back seat to feelings. Think about this. Our borders, spanning thousands of miles, were breached by terrorists, employing a single 'hole' in the system. Clearly, events of 9/11 ought to have us fortifying all of the system, and not just airports and visa applicants. Nevertheless, with thousands of miles of frontiers, <I>that is exactly what we are doing</I>.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sigcarlfred.blogspot.com/2008/01/future-lens.html">Why? because we feel that securing our safety might <I>alienate</I> illegal aliens. What is worse, is that millions of people concur with that kind of thinking. The 'facts on the ground' and the reality of promises of more 9/11's mean less to us than the 'feelings' that many have.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E420EAF3-EE74-46B5-81A2-8F04C0E298D0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
