You are absolutely right. It's a huge problem. Faced with such a huge
problem, does it make sense to have most of our military resources busy
creating new thousands of new terrorists in Iraq?

Don't get me wrong. Sadam had to go. I admire the hell out of the people
that are doing it. Doing it the way we did it though was tragically stupid.

No, but if it really is a war, there must be something useful the other
services could be doing. If there are too many boats to worry about
anything under a couple hundred feet long sailing up the edge of

Manhattan,
why are they worrying about airplanes?


Our military is much too small to effectively patrol these areas, even if
we
devoted our entire resources to it. The war on drugs has proven that we
cannot make our borders impenetrable.

Like it or not, ordinary citizens such as longshoremen and even pilots are
an important part of national security. We just have to be on the watch
for
anything out of the ordinary.

That does not mean we should condone waste of the resources we have.
Harassing Cessnas and investigating Tiger Woods as a terrorist is
unconscionable.
