At the present time British passport holders can enter the US without an entry visa , but the guys at homeland security are concerned about the possibility of Islamic terrorists entering the US and have come to the conclusion that these folks need to be filtered out before they enter the US. It seems British citizens who happen to be of Pakistani descent are to be singled out for special screening.
What seems a bit "odd" is that the President is continally telling us that the Govt. of Pakistan is our number one friend in that part of the world and we are giving them billions of dollars in aid .

your thoughts on the article ....

(without the usual American bashing ..please )
Does saying that GWB is "a bit 'odd'" count as America bashing? I don't think so ... he's only one out of about 300 million. If any Brits of Asian descent wish to visit Canada, our doors and our airports are open to you and the welcome mat is out.

By the way, it doesn't snow that often in summer
