Mona Charen, in the Washington Times, examines the efforts of the Democrats to “get to President Bush’s right on homeland security.” She finds these efforts laughable. The Democrats, it seems, want the toughest homeland security measures possible, as long as they offend no civil servant, civil libertarian, pro-immigration lobby, or trial lawyer. Moreover, as Charen notes, even if the Democrats could overcome all of these constraints, “they would remain handicapped on this issue because they don’t see the big picture,” namely that the war must be taken to our enemies, including enemy states, if we are to be safe here at home. As Charen concludes, “The president has an offense and a defense. The Democrats, so far, have neither.”
