Profile much?

I have to say I do not completely agree with Mr. Ricks post "Mental breakdown." Although I do agree that there should have been higher security to ensure these kinds of things don't happen, I don't think it would have been acceptable to profile this man because of his race. I do not believe that everyone in the military of middle eastern decent should be categorized as people who are capable of shooting their comrades, just like I do not believe all American citizens of middle eastern descent should be categorized as those who are capable of being terrorists. Although I am sure many backwards thinking Americans feel differently than I do.
I also do not think that Major Hasan is the only person enlisted in the military who is opposed to the war. I personally have many friends and family enlisted that do not agree with what is going on and are not happy, but are fulfilling their duty.
Depression and post traumatic stress are very common in soldiers after serving in times of war, so it also does not surprise me that the major had a problem killing his own people, who wouldn't? Not all Afghan citizens are evil terrorists. I am not excusing his atrocious behavior and believe he should be punished by the fullest extent of the law. Profiling I just think that if we start profiling everyone that doesn't look like us, we will open the awful barrel of hatred racist monkeys that was opened after September 11th.
These types of instances are impossible to predict and very hard to prevent. I'm sure no one at Fort Hood thought one of their own would go on a shooting rampage, how do you predict something like that without prior threats to cause harm? I completely agree that there should be heightened security on military bases, I just don't agree with Mr. Ricks on how these security measures should be carried out.
