Nope....
Homeland security is just smoke, mirrors and inconvenience.

Maybe that's all it takes to prevent another attack on the order of
9/11/01.

Bwaaahahhahahhahahhahhahaaaa!
You've swallowed that line?

What line? HS doesn't claim to be smoke and mirrors. That's your take,
not
theirs. And the evidence supports HS, not you. The US has been free of
terrorist attack since HS instituted its programs. HS may have absolutely
nothing to do with that, but you can't prove it doesn't. So your argument
is invalid.

The line that homeland security is the reason for no more
attacks....What was the reason in all the years prior to 911?

You seem to have conveniently ignored the other, failed al Qaeda attempt to
level the WTC some years before 9/11.


You're an ex-cop. How would you deal with terrorism in Australia?

Heh heh, there is none.
Maybe if Little Johnnie Howard keeps Americanising us...we will.

As I expected--you won't answer the question. Criticism without
alternative
suggestions is the mark of a chronic complainer, not a problem solver.
Save
your breath--we have plenty of those here already.

Max, again you miss the point....First step toward stopping terrorism
in Oz would be to throw out a Govt that is leading us further into
current American political thinking....the out for you is the same,
**** off a Govt that is intolerant and interfering and try to smooth
over the huge rifts that have been opened up.

Hell, Iraq after all the interfering is now teetering on the very
brink of civil war...

I can't argue against your points--they have merit--but I still ask: if
your country faces terrorist activity, how would you deal with it? Like it
or not, we are where we are, and our government isn't likely to change its
course. Given that, we have to deal with terrorism effectively, or watch
another 3000 (or more) countrymen die periodically to terrorist attacks on
these shores.
