Our Homeland Security

Recently the Unites States discovered suspicious packages that contained what they are calling “explosive materials”. The Packages where suppose to be delivered to places that practice Jewish Worship in Chicago. One of the packages where discovered in the UK and another similar package in Dubai, where they described as ink cartridges with white powder and “sophisticated” wiring. Ups and FedEx are suspending all operations out of Yemen until further notice citing security reason. There have been reports that they are looking to more packages of interest, but what does this all mean for the US and our national security?? Would we have reason to worry? Is an attack on our country soon going to happen?? Obama himself has said that the illegal group Al-Qaeda is behind this and is still planning attacks against us. It seems to me that we are still very vulnerable and could be faced with a difficult challenge of trying to protect ourselves against a terrorist act. So what does this mean for our military? Does the government put more pressure in the Middle East? Continue spending on a war that has gone on for years now, and increase violence on our borders that have people wondering should we focus more on that than to continue to fight the Al-Qaeda. In my eyes we have made big strides in controlling the situation but people are growing tired of hearing and dealing with the war. The government needs to come up with a solution to the problem to keep the trust and faith of US citizens. Understandably it is a difficult task to tackle because if we bring the troops home and get attack it will look like a failure and cause a bigger problem in the US. Only time can tell what happens but hopefully a good ending comes about and we can live in a country where we feel safe again and attacks on our country will be a thing of the past.
