Why are these posed as alternatives?
Surely we can agree that both homeland security and presenting attractive
alternatives to people inclined to Islamism are worthy goals.
The problem is that if the implementation of ideological warfare were as
stupidly clumsy and as big a threat to basic liberties as OHS already is,
it, too, would provide little more than more evidence that Republicans have
good reason to fear big government. They don't have a clue how to run one.
