So, you really think Homeland Security is fighting to prevent terrorism? It is another big govt prgoram to make us feel we are doing something. Right after 9/11, Bush made a big deal to create this big govt program. As if all the other para-military federal agencies were not enough. If we had one more, we could prevent future terrorist attacks. Yeah right! Supporters claim that Homeland Security provides the coordination between all these other para-military agencies. Well, that job is already the responsibility for the office of the National Security Advisor. And, what was Tom Ridge's remark to protect the homeland by securing the borders? "Well, sir, we cannot do it for social and political reasons." Yeah, I feel really secure.
