Bombs Away...Or Not

I talked about how racial profiling is unfair and unjust to those who are victims. But now, I'm pretty sure that the U.S. can't help but to look at every Pakistani as a potential terrorist. Why?

It's incidents like today's at Times Square that make people prejudiced against others. I'm so relieved that there was something wrong with the bomb, since it could've killed hundreds of people. At the same time, I'm frustrated  that the mayor of New York City, in his address to the public regarding this issue, made a point to emphasize that we must not alienate the Pakistani in New York. What's even more annoying is that the plane holding the terrorist who planted the bomb almost flew out before we could catch him. Reports show that this man was a suspect and there should've been a more efficient way of stopping the plane and protecting American lives. I suppose it's unfair for me to criticize things that I'm not even a part of, but, as a citizen of the United States, it's only fair that I'm concerned about my own safety when I walk into an airport or enter a city.

So, President Obama, this is a wakeup call to you. I don't know how many times I've said this, but people are trying to kill us. And if you don't start to face these terrorist problems head on, next time we might not be so lucky.
