So are we safer? There have been 500+ National Disasters since 1995. All but two were natural disasters, 9/11 and Oklahoma City. So if the overwhelming odds are that we are going to have a disaster with Mother Nature, are we really surprised when something like Katrina happens?
And when you look at terrorism, we have more homegrown terrorists than internationals. We had the Unabomber, we have the Anthrax Guy, we had the '96 Olympics Bomber, we had the Tylenol Guy from years ago, not to mention the countless serial killers, abducters and psychopaths who bring communities plenty of terror. We as Americans don't have to look to the Middle East, but the Bush Propaganda Machine wants you to think by being in Iraq with 130,000+ troops and 90,000 private contractors, you are somehow safer. The $300,000,000,000 Bush has spent in Iraq didn't save one life, one school, one church, one business or one person from suffering in New Orleans.
Failure is one thing, it happens. Complete denial is unaccpetable. Homeland Security is the new oxymoron, up there with Military Intelligence.
