Close Dept. of Education, but don't dismantle public schools.
They've been taught by too many that this war was necessary when it isn't.
Our forefathers would think it's time for a revolution. This is why they revolted in the first place... They revolted against much more mild oppression.
The cost in terms of liberties lost and the unnecessary exposure to terrorism are difficult to determine, but in time it will become apparent to all of us that foreign interventionism is of no benefit to American citizens, but is instead a threat to our liberties.
