I didn't downvote you, but it's very obviously this part: "And I want the terrorists to be attacked relentlessly where they live"

This implies enthusiastic support of constant US intervention in foreign lands. Maybe that's not what you meant, but I'm guessing it's what people are reacting to.

I downvoted him. This is ignorance that shouldn't be tolerated.

He's acting like the Taliban is a personal threat to him when traveling by air. They are not, and citing things like Richard Reid (who was British), do not support the argument.

There are repressive regimes all over the world, many that commit atrocities much worse than the Taliban, yet I still feel that I should be able to board a flight without someone putting their hands on my penis.

The whole Taliban argument seems misplaced as well considering nearly all of the terrorists that attacked on 9/11 (the cause of the increased airport security) were nearly all from Saudi Arabia.

So while we do nothing to Saudi Arabia, this person wants to feel safer flying by dropping bombs on Pakistanis.

Stupid on many levels.
