Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page paper assessing some of the issues complicating creation of a federal department that can increase security in America without limiting the individual freedom and liberty on which the country was founded. All of the federal government has been long overdue for the same kinds of structural reorganization that has been occurring in business for nearly a generation. A better approach to establishing a Department of Homeland Security might be to give such a department time-limited license for existence, allowing it to take the steps necessary to increase the security of our free and open society, but making its secondary mission that of overseeing reorganization of the entire federal government. Such an undertaking would take years in corporate time; in government time it would take even longer. It is an approach to increasing security without further limiting individual freedom, however, and is well worth considering for long-range planning. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

of Congress to resist... The purpose here is to examine the issues surrounding creation of the Department. Basic Considerations Though Americas leading
political parties can seem to be quite similar on many issues, one of the defining characteristics distinguishing between them is the view of the role of government. Republicans hold
to the concept of a government restricted in size and in involvement in individuals lives. The more liberally-centered Democrats view entitlement programs far more favorably, seeking to deliver government
services to all those individuals who could use a hand up. The effect is bigger, more intrusive government. Both parties hold largely
the same view of the individual liberty and collective democracy that characterize and define America (Corbin, 2001). As information on the suicide hijackers responsible for the mass murder of
thousands of Americans began to become available, it became obvious that each of the hijackers had lived in the United States while planning their offensive and training at American flight
