Should it include neo-Nazi militias, white Supremacist groups and other extremists groups on both sides of the political stream instead of just going after international threats.

I meant threats not treats.

When they start flying planes into buildings, yes.
After the OKC bombing, the government did a crack down on domestic anti-government and militia groups, arresting many leaders and recovered stockpiles of weapons. But experts and the government say the number of groups and participation has dropped significantly -- because of the OKC bombing, strangely enough.
They just didn't give that effort a 'name' so the Democrats could mock it.

Yes,that is part of the problem. Domestic terrorism is not figured into the war on terror. The result people think we have had no terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11 and that we are really making a difference.

Yes, but it won't.
That type of terrorism has been going on for more than 100 years in the United States and the KKK actually had Law Enforcement personnel.

Treats? You mean like cookies and milk? Sorry couldn't resist. And the answer is no. Only those that break the law not those that are just exercising their right to freedom of speech.

To me, any political, anti-government, or racist group that condones the use of violence to support their beliefs should be considered a terrorist group, or a criminal organization, like the old mafia.

it should but it doesn't.
we investigate quakers, greenpeace, peta and other left leaning or peace intentioned organizations while gangs threaten every major city in the nation.
and you'll never guess what's starting to appear in iraq these days - AMERICAN GANG SPRAYPAINTED DESIGNS on buildings.
this means that the american armed services and private security companies are employing members of american gangs in iraq.
american terrorists are trying to fight the insurgents in iraq.
is it any wonder that the entire nation of iraq is in chaos?

Right now we are concerned with Muslim extremists. Maybe later the rest.
