We had an influx of Viet-Nam &amp;quot;refugees&amp;quot; a few years back, who were taken in by countless &amp;quot;parrishes&amp;quot;, and who got State financial support,not to mention mega-donations from every quarter.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;Now, the Somalies here in Maine have likely recieved the same &amp;quot;benefits&amp;quot; as the Viet refugees, many of the Viet refugees have already established themselves in &amp;quot;business&amp;quot;...mostly restaurants from their &amp;quot;windfalls&amp;quot; of cash. As for the Somalies here in Maine...we haven't seen them &amp;quot;establish&amp;quot; themselves in businesses from their &amp;quot;cash windfall&amp;quot;...or....maybe they just don't have a desire to suceed in their lives?? Needless to say, if one is form Somalia...I am sure that there is no initiative to get ahead, except for getting the next meal of the day! So...if these Somalies are here...whether it be for religious, political or tribal persecution...I would highly suggest that someone keep them closely in their sights....lest we find out that we have a repeat of the article from NBC's Pete Williams. I would much prefer to be safe.....than sorry!! If they prove out to be &amp;quot;honest&amp;quot; American citizens, well, maybe they can let their &amp;quot;overseas&amp;quot; friends and families know that we are not the bad guys.</description></item><item><title>Americans recruited as suicide bombers</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/03/1697808.aspx#1698103</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:09:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1698103</guid><dc:creator>war</dc:creator><description>Um...all these Americans are Muslims, so it is obvious, religious brainwashing is playing a big role here.</description></item><item><title>Americans recruited as suicide bombers</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/03/1697808.aspx#1698119</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:47:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1698119</guid><dc:creator>Scott E.
