Then why on earth do you support them? Your original claim was that if we oppose them we support the terrorists. You are rather inconsistent are you not?

They are a useful tool, a toold for identifying and keeping track of people in just the same way that passports are used.
If they wont stop terrorism, why do you wish to keep track of people?

Quote:
Passports dont stop terrorism either and they can be forged as well as an ID card but I dont suppose you would advocate getting rid of them.
I would in a perfect world. The sad thing is, one needs one to get into another country. The analogy simply does not work. Passports are reliant upon what other nations do - I.D. cards are not.

Immigrants ae here to stay, whover said deport them is in cloud cuckoo land, however ID cards would also help weed out illegals.
It hasn't in other nations which have them.

No, I think anti-liberty left-wingers like yourself are the danger.
