Related to what Kevin wrote, the apocalyptic right would regard Sheehan's stance as naive and excruciatingly dove-ish, when in fact what he's saying is not only true and sensible, but it works. Don't create unnecessary fear for sheer political purposes that also begets wasteful spending on larger-than-necessary wars, and instead focus the resources on rooting out and destroying the fewer-than-thought evil doers.

Less histrionics to manipulate the masses, more actual anti-terrorist activity. Wouldn't that be refreshing?
