If you do all of these things we will simply stop visiting your country. Your economy will suffer and you will enjoy pointlessly strained relations with the United States. We are not trying to be mean to you!! Also, you didn't mention which country is yours, but I doubt that your citizens are intentionally targeted by organized mass murderers who attempt to enter your country under various guises. Therefore you really don't need to fingerprint visitors. Rather than complaining about how paranoid we are why don't you provide some sort of assistance to us to fight terrorism?? You can start by taking 15 seconds to allow us to scan your fingerprints. I get my fingerprints scanned everytime I cash a check at the bank and it really isn't worth crying over. If you don't have any respect for the threat we are under or understand the suffering of the families of terrorist attacks then we really don't want you in our country anyway. Terrorists look just like everybody else so everyone we don't know is a suspect and that is the reality of the state of the world. If you have any problem with this policy at all then believe me, you have made the right decision by refusing to come here because with your lack of sympathy you would not be well-liked. Foreigners seem to forget that for Americans the USA is not something on TV or something to be discussed in political science class. This is our home and we are going to protect ourselves.

I decided long ago to stop visiting the US, a country I used to admire as the cradle of freedom and of almost everything important for mankind. I had to learn that the US is "the cradle of the best and the worst"... Being a lawmaker in my country I will press for re-instituting the visa requirements for US citizens wishing to visit my country, including checking the visa applicant's financial beackgrounds, requiring bank statements about their accounts, deeds of owmership of real estate etc - exactly as the US Government treats our citizens. And of course, the ten fingerprints, to express our happiness to welcome them in my country. This is a sorry world!!!!
