Charles Krauthammer is a Pussy

Neo-conservative and Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer can’t quite bring himself to say he believes that every Arabic-looking man trying to board a bus, train, or plane should be searched. Instead he argues in today's Post that we should simply not bother searching other people.

We could start with a little age pruning -- no one under, say, 13, and no one over, say, 60. Then we could exempt whole ethnic populations, a list that could immediately start with Hispanics, Scandinavians and East Asians. Then we could have a huge saving, a 50 percent elimination of waste, by giving a pass to women, except perhaps the most fidgety, sweaty, suspicious-looking, overcoat-wearing, knapsack-bearing young woman, to be identified by the presiding officer.

Leaving aside the fact that Britney Spears falls into the sweaty, suspicious-looking camp, this policy idea is racist and a danger to public safety. While the authorities are wasting their time searching an innocent Muslim Arab, a white Eastern European Muslim with a bomb will be getting by. More importantly, Charles Krauthammer should stop wasting his readers' time by being too afraid to write in favor of his own beliefs. If you think certain ethnic groups should be singled out, then say so. Stop being such a fucking pussy, Charles Krauthammer! As a war enthusiast we expect you to be a dick, possibly an asshole.
