I have to side with Jamo here. In terms of profiling, targeting and persecuting Muslims, Middle Eastern Americans or any other group, the US government absolutely did NOT overreact after 911. If anything the official reaction in that regard was almost unbelieveably restrained. I challenge any other nation to truthfully claim that it would or could have done any better from that POV.

I also agree that bad things happen during times of war and it is almost impossible to wage war effectively in modern times without some collateral damage and infringement on some peoples "rights" as they would exist during times of peace. Humans being human and all, mistakes will inevitably be made and focusing on these isolated instances when judging a nation's response to military or terrorist aggression will at best put a fatal slant on the final perspective.
