Answer 1

It sucks.

Answer 2

This thing Homeland Security was prompted by fear, outright fear from the very likes of people who instilled fear in others round the world, in particular developing countries and pre-technological countries, and who have been tampered with and treated most unfairly.

The USA had already a considerable network of homeland security at the outset. This is the United States armed forces and internal security components such as the FBI and CIA and NSA and so on. The weakness to this as was often the case before the present day, is that the various arms were not acting in concert with one another. Secondly, these same components never -- and still don't -- sought to gain the assistance of the citizenry in this country but rather alienated them, which again fostered fear, because the citizenry was and is availed no knowledge or foresights. And nothing engenders fear in someone more than having to face the unknown and being kept in the dark about the world around you.

Ironically, the very people who are least prepared and conditioned to confront fears [ typically the materially well-off, and the powerful ] are the very ones too often who are in charge of the likes of a " Homeland Security, " and are the least suited to know how to administer to it. After all, the true homeland security rests within each of us -- that is, a well-developed innate bravery drawn from exposure to life experiences -- good, bad, and indifferent.

True security comes from within, not from technologies and fat bank accounts and a life of leisure... You see?

I will leave off here...

Answer 3

Honestly? Well, I think it is important to seal our borders tighter, although most politicians seem to want to do everything but that.

Secondly, I think the term "homeland" has been used last by a political leader called, ahem, Hitler...see any parallels here? I'm not saying Bush is Hitler, his tactics are just similiar...which frightens me.

Hitler's rise to power provides many examples of the use of agents provocateur and opportunistic exploitation of events to further evil objectives. The Reichstag fire of February 27, 1933 is the most famous example. The Nazis capitalized on the event with a vengeance. Insisting that the Reichstag fire was a communist attack against the German Fatherland (Homeland), Hitler persuaded President Hindenburg to sign an emergency decree “for the Protection of the People and the State,” suspending constitutional liberties and allowing the state to exercise extraordinary powers in the name of “public safety.”

Answer 4

Dept. of Homeland Security What a joke If anything it has made the country even less secure than it was

Answer 5

I am in favor of homeland security. As for the Department of Homeland Security, I wish we would divert some funds from wealth distribution that only benefit a few, to this department that benefits us all.

Answer 6

I think homeland security should be stronger. If people would leave so called big brother alone we would be a safer country

Answer 7

I feel glad we have it.

I think if they hired more people actually from the places they are spying on or to make the payoffs, we would have soooooooooo much more info.

They can't hire them cuz when the do the background check, they find out Ali is from Iran, so they can't hire him.

Then guys named Jack or Fred try to read the farsi

Answer 8

as a democrat and a liberal, im for it but only it. i dont not want to do anything offensively towards the terrorists. we should just try to play defense. if we can put guards up around every building, every financial institution, every port, every govt agency, at all airports , all trains, all water, all power plants, we will eventually have to unionize thse people.

then they can relax under the protection of the unions and vote democrat so that we can elminate christians and have more abortions.

as a democrat and a liberal, i think this makes a lot of sense.

what we dont want to do is make the terrorists mad. so if homeland security makes them mad, forget everything i said, and do away with it.

Answer 9

It's good in concept, but in practice, it could be a lot better. Too much buracracy and fighting between agencies... Too many liberals who are afraid they'll lose some of their freedoms and not realizing they'll lose their freedom and then their lives.

Answer 10

It's a waste of money....just adding to the bureaucracy in Washington.


And NO....they do not have enough people to translate.....in fact they are having a hard time hiring people( for various reasons).

Answer 11

just an updated version of the old civil defense units of the first and second world wars !
