The simple fact of the matter is that we are more at risk than any time in history. Our response to the horrific acts of 9/11 has been underwhelming at best. Here's something for you to ponder:
1. Rather than engage in this ridiculous war in Iraq, perhaps the administration could have deployed our troops to secure THIS country. There are, at present count, 974 dead U.S. soliders. I bet their parents would have preferred that they stayed home and secured our borders.
2. The war, which no one at the convention wants to talk about, has cost over $130 BILLION dollars. Ironically, our fiscally prudent president doesn't talk about paying for it.
If your concerned about security, here's a chart that might help you out:
