I just had a vision of what would happen if a bunch of Egyptians landed in NY and started dismantling a monument in Central Park.
Homeland Security would be all over them!
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Yeah...in NY a bunch of Arabs doing anything except driving cabs would be suspicious.
That is the kind of thing that Homeland Security can handle.
