Is the U.S. Next?:
The Dept. Of Homeland Security is warning about attacks after the bombings in Madrid. It's really only a matter of time in a country such as the U.S. Increased security at borders, including fingerprinting will probably help. But there are far too many vulnerabilities at the borders for these measures to stop the terrorists. Only the form of the attack will change. The U.S. gov't must understand that the only true way to stop the killing is through education and understanding. They must stop acting as bullies and must start acting more as guides to countries not as fortunate as them. Instead they go in as a stampeding economic machine with a very powerful military to back them up. Oh, and by the way, the economic machine acts only in it's own best interests most often leaving the country in shambles when the whole thing falls apart.
