Trump Bans Muslims from the U.S.

What?  This is madness.

Trump banned Muslims traveling from seven predominantly Muslim countries today, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

What he fails to remember is that most of the terrorists that attacked us in 2001 were from Saudi Arabia.  I don't see that country on 'the list'.

All of this skirts the fact that a broad ban like this is not going to help.  This mass banning of Muslims does not make America more secure.  Terrorists will always find another way in, regardless of bans like this.


All this ban does is make us look like assholes to the rest of the world.  Is that really what we want?
