I wonder if the idea to call it "homeland" security instead of "national" security was to down play the idea of nation status. From what I understand they would like to eliminate our northern and southern borders and have a continental homeland.

Every time I hear the word "homeland" in relation to our country I cringe. I guess I'm not teutonic enough.

Every red blooded American does. 'Homeland' is globalese.
