Authorities make 6 arrests in 2 states in terrorism probe

adjensen,

I don't even understand how it CAN be happening like this? American raised kids, turned to go play Jihadi killer ...among people who absolutely HATE everything American? That must be full of awkward moments, even after they become accepted. Still HOW??

I recall reading about the Soviet defectors during the years there was a Soviet Union. After they'd debriefed them in the D.C. area, and decided they were keepers, they'd take them on a driving tour of D.C., Chevy Chase, Alexandria and the other lesser sights around the area. (Sights you ask?? What sights in Chevy Chase??) What I'll never forget is how the defectors invariably were unimpressed by the monuments, and the big stuff we like to see. It was the neighborhoods (outside the D.C. Ghetto) and things like a regular American supermarket...with 10 varietys of every product, and seasons are almost meaningless for any food you may want.

They'd have trouble getting them to believe it was real, and not a Potemkin village mock-up, but that was how we ALL really lived. Apparently, a multi-department supermarket wasn't a common sight in the old Soviet world. 

ANYWAY.....ISIS-Land is at least as different from us, as the Soviet Union was in the bad old days. No one but a coward or spy running hard actually defected TO the Soviets, and damn few of them.

What, in the name of any quality to life, do Americans see in ISIS-Land? Is it the Murder for Free aspect?? Are we THAT depraved?

I have to disagree on the imprisonment. I've got to take a "take no prisoners" attitude here. Prisons are probably the number one radicalization venues in the US. If not number one, they are at the very least running a close second. Prison is the LAST place you want to put an islamic radicalizer - it just gives him a fertile field to work in.

Send 'em packing or put 'em in the ground. I don't care which, as long as they aren't troubling us any more.
