"Okay, you can put it on red. Now, what's different?"

Exactly! I live in the midst of it and any of us can see that there is exactly nothing that any of them could do that is not being done. If you expect that new government outfit to make you safe you had better be prepared for a huge let down. In the meanwhile we have lost more freedoms than we will ever recover.

Take a clue from Israel. With all their capabilities and intelligence and skill from dealing with it for age-years can they keep anyone safe? They have always been socialists so they do not have the freedoms to lose which we have already given up.

I just thought it was eye raising commentary on our wonderful color coded system. :) ... anyway ... I wish we were a little more aggressive like Israel when it came to taking out terrorist cells.

Be patient. We'll probably get there in some sections of the country. I haven't seen a mid-eastern person in 8 years. So....

I can agree with that but Homeland Insecurity could not do any more than is being done and would likely do less because the politicos cannot offend any group.

This area is packed with Muslims, Asians, Hispanics et al. There is a mosque roughly 3 blocks from this last shooting and our Congress critters would do flips if any group cast any aspersions on any of them. Let us not forget that Homeland Insecurity will have to get its' funding from Congress whereas as it exists the conglomerate gets funding from a variety of sources and can afford to be less controlled.
