Uh-uh. And if a spy ring is uncovered whose members are WASPs,
does it raise questions in your mind on whether WASP real
allegiance is to Russia ? You don't make your case stronger
with this line of reasoning.
It is part of the American tradition that ties of sympathy to
the Old Country - be it Italy, Ireland  or Greece - are compatible
with loyalty to the USA.  For many Jews, Israel occupies the same 
emotional niche.
That some individuals commit crimes has nothing to do with the
issue.
