Doing things the hard way…

Americans apparently like the long road. Eventually, we will profile the less numerical number of threatening types of people instead of the far more numerous threatening objects, and we will try terrorists where they belong, in military courts in GITMO instead of civilian courts in NYC — because those are the rational methodologies for quick success rather than the ideological means of eventual failure.

We just can’t quite bring ourselves to doing things the easy way first.
