I think the number one job of Government is to provide it's citizens with security. After 911, criminalizing Osama and just swatting terrorists was looked upon by the Admin as killing Alligators. They decided to drain the swamp. Honest men can disagree with that decision. Where the opposition has gone wrong, IMO, is in attributing base motives to what was decided.

The Administration has pursued the course they are on because they honestly felt that was the best way to protect the country. Criticize that decision if you want. There is certainly room for other opinions. But what is wrong is this hatred of them for doing it.
