I wonder what people will think when people start disappearing.
People in places like Alabama and Oklahoma will think that's an excellent idea, because after all, the US is at war.

Good thing you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
So if the US goes into Iran, and news reports start coming out about Iranian-Americans being held indefinitely without trial or lawyer, because they pose a threat to winning the war, we can expect a public outcry throughout the bible belt?
Not bloody likely... they'll support it. Just like they did leading up to, and during the Iraq invasion. Then once people are desensitized to that, the scope will broaden. Then born & bred Americans who are "sympathetic" to Iran by speaking in the streets, or posting blogs, will get rounded up. And again, it will be supported by a decent portion of the population.
This is just how it goes... that old adage of putting a frog in boiling water vs. luke warm water, while constantly heating it. Just think if this was 1970, and all the current laws, agencies, and departments that are in place now were enacted overnight. The Whitehouse would be a pile of ashes within a week.

Where you have no fucking idea what your talking about is that you think this is aimed at Iranian Americans.. This is all about "home grown terror"
Never said that. Just implied that if the US does actually go into Iran, Iranian-Americans will probably one of the first groups of people to begin disappearing off the streets.
