Aggressively fight terrorism around the world

The best homeland security policy is to aggressively fight terrorism around the world. We need to redefine the war on terrorism and work to form a broad-based, multi-lateral coalition unified around the cause of stamping out the terrorist ideology, militarily where necessary, but primarily through promoting political and economic freedoms. Here at home, we must give our firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and other first responders the resources they need to protect our homeland.
