6. True. Add to that the Saudis.

Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 stated that Saudi Arabia's investments and holdings in America come to about 8% of our economy. All 18 of the 9/11 hijackers (1 missed his flight) and bin Laden himself were Saudis.

And consider that only a handful of our presidents were on the terrorists' side, but were mostly covert about it. Nixon's true beliefs came out in those tapes that were released in the last ten years. He hated blacks and Jews, yet welcomed Sammy Davis Jr. to the WH. Nixon was the biggest pandering president in my lifetime.

To me, the best moment in Bush Sr's one term was the "jackboot thugs" line. Throwing up on a dignitary comes in second.

At the state level, those segregationalist southern governors were domestic terrorists. Wallace, Faubus, and the guy in MS were using fire hoses and German Shepherds (as Trump is proposing)--the same way they did in South Africa's Apartheid years.

The playbook never changes. Only the players do.
