I think for the next 10 years, it makes sense to merge the State department into the DoD, and rename it the Department of War. At least it will keep State from actively undermining our missions abroad. As one writer aptly put it, "Over the past 30 years, State ceased to be a representative for Americans abroad, but rather the representative for foreign governments in the US."

It's better to close the State Dept. down completely and to fire everyone of it's staff. We won't need to worry about them, the Saudis will hire them as consultants.

The rest of the posts on this board come from people who clearly learned nothing from 9-11. The Islamofascists are coming for us. As soon as they can, they will kill us all. Better to attack and destroy them first. But then, it's clear that paleocon's would rather see America destroyed if they don't get their way.
