Timmy is illustrative of the point of view that the thing to do about terrorism is to hunker down behind our borders. The VP and the President are of the "take the fight to the enemy" school. I prefer the latter. I don't like being the weak horse.

People tend not to think about our real borders in the year 2006. With hundreds of satellites, that we all take for granted, whirling around our Earth, real border closure would mean going back to a 1960s world. That is not possible, unless our enemies figure out a way to stop satellite communication.
