The Guardian has Senator Kerry's anti-terrorism plan:

"Kerry said he would address the root caucuses of terrorism by protecting chemical and nuclear facilities, increasing security at ports and airports, restoring federal funding for 100,000 police officers and adding 100,000 fire fighters across the country "

I am having problems here figuring out what the root caucuses(sic) of terrorism have to do with protecting things in this country which, from all indications, we are doing already fairly well. I always thought that the root causes of terrorism were conditions like poverty, lack of opportunity, religious and/or political extremism, etc.. What is Senator Kerry talking about or does he know? Maybe Senator Kerry thinks that terrorism has something to do with the caucuses in Iowa? Could be. Really.
