Cafferty: Scars of war?
WATCH "The Cafferty File": Children terrorists?.

What will the future hold for the next generation of Iraqis?
Not only will millions of Iraqi children be psychologically scarred for life, but their hatred for America will breed a new, and certainly more belligerent, anti-American form of terrorism. Long after George W. Bush leaves office, these young people will be on the front lines of new and more devastating regional and worldwide terror. -Andy, Littleton, Colorado

A more brutal dictator that will make Saddam look like a saint. -Andrew, Chicago, Illinois

As an Iraqi living in the states, I think that Iraqis have no future at all. They run away from one mess to find other countries not welcoming them, and treating them as if they are not human. Kids will grow up with a lack of hope and a lack of home to contain them and protect them.
-Laith, Weehawken, New Jersey

They will be angry, unemployed, and they will hate Americans. -Alyn

How important is it for Muslim Americans to become more integrated?
Dear Cafferty, Former Secretary Martin is right on the money: Muslim Americans need to continue to make every effort to integrate in our society, but it goes both ways. For years now, some have worked very hard to lock-out Muslim Americans from our democracy, insidiously questioning the loyalty of Muslim Americans and their ability to participate in our democracy. We all need to participate as Americans! -Suhail

Dear Jack, As important as it was for the Jews, for the Irish, for the Italians... Probably the most difficult part of integrating into America is recognizing, especially if you were the majority in the old country, that your beliefs and traditions do not dictate everyone else's. -Roy, Tacoma, Washington

American Muslims must speak out against the violence publicly advocated by other Muslims. It's not enough to make weak statements about how Islam does not preach this and that, the American Muslim leadership must take a clear stand against the advocates of jihads, etc.
-Brian

How do you integrate a people who don't want to be integrated? -Harold

What can be done about faulty and/or dangerous products coming into the United States from China?
Nothing will be done, big business wants the low cost products, no matter what it does to the consumer. What we should do is cut off trade with China until they correct the currency problem and provide safe products. -Richard, Clearwater, Florida

They must be held accountable for the quality and safety of their goods. If they can't meet the standards then the trade agreement should be used as leverage. Don't allow them to think they can shove the junk on us just because we have a trade agreement. -Lou, Enterprise, Alabama

I know what to do about these Chinese imports... STOP importing them into the US. Can't we produce our own products in this country? For God's sake, toothpaste? Seriously! -Tara, Houston, Texas

Jack, It's simple: just hold all U.S. importers 100% liable for anything that's imported from outside North America. I think I'd be concerned with the quality of what I imported if my business were at stake. -Avi, Toronto
