So despite the fact that they were the lead exporters from this prism of terrorist hijackers to the United States, they get a pass. And instead, we pick on Yemen, and Somalia, and Iraq--our presumed ally--that another Republican President sunk hundreds of billions of dollars into waging a war based on the mythology that there were weapons of mass destruction in that country, but now they are on our side. Yet, we have imposed a ban of people coming in as refugees from Iraq. But Saudi Arabia gets a pass; Egypt gets a pass; United Arab Emirates gets a pass because they are on the rich side. So what exactly do these seven countries have in common if it doesn't have anything to do with our national security?
