[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

I like how he seperated the War on Terror into two fields. It goes so deep into all the fields.

We have the direct wars, and homeland security. Even the wars have two parts, provoked (afgahnistan, for openly protecting and funding terrorism) and pre-emptive (Iraq, for openly encouraging it and attacks on Non-US countries, attacked for fear they,will one day hit us) Even the non-wars of the war on terror where we try to do our best to hold back dangers without attacking them (Iran, North Korea) and applying political pressure to people going the wrong way (Palestine/Hamas/Hezballah)

I think people should be able to say they support most aspects of the war on terrorism, without say approving of Iraq.

I'd like to see a definition of Homeland Security. It was thrown together quickly as stopgap solution and needs to be streamlined now that it has settled in and will be permanent, the groups it's absorbed have been greatly slowed (INS) and the ones it connects to, it barely knows how to help them when something goes wrong or who ya gonna call (FBI, Fema, Ghostbusters?) I like to think the Patriot act is similar and needs to be altered and re-evaluated everytime it comes up for renewal.
