Dr Gloom 21930 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 As unambiguous as the ethical issues are, the construction of the order and its implications bear analysis. It is striking in its arbitrariness. None of the attackers from the 9/11, Orlando, San Bernardino or Boston attacks came from the countries picked out. If Mr Trump is concerned about countries whose nationals have been involved in recent atrocities, the absence of nations such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan is hard to explain. That the president has business interests in several of the countries notably omitted, and in none of the ones included, lends the list no legitimacy. It appears to consist of states excluded from an Obama administration visa waiver programme. Why that group would be chosen in the current context is mysterious. The order was not heralded by a detailed speech nor justified by a cogent explanation when it landed. The heads of the departments of state, defence and homeland security, and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency are barely in their seats. It appears from their silence on the topic that they had little to do with the drafting of the order, in which their departments are deeply implicated. The administration, it seems, is making it up as it goes along, and is in a great hurry. This is a terrible combination. from the FT's leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
