We have conclusive evidence that banned weapons have been used. It is America's responsibility as a world leader to topple the current and abusive regime. This is truly the only way we can make America safer. Such was the case politicians, pundits, editorial pages, and cable stations made 14 years ago for invading Iraq. Fourteen years later, more than 4,000 Americans died and 31,000 were wounded to facilitate regime change. An untold number of civilians of the country, conservatively estimated at 151,000, died in the chaos that followed shortly after. No weapons of mass destruction, the supposed motivat- ing factor for our intervention, were found. The entire re- gion destabilized. The vacuum allowed the creation of the Islamic State, an organization that blanketed parts of Iraq for years under a reign far worse than Iraq's original despot. The congressional budget office estimates American spent $2.4 trillion on this war. Today, America is less safe for our government's inter- vention. Yet, knowing this, we still walk up to the same precipice with Syria.

Should we as journalists be concerned? Well, maybe the DHS’s press secretary is right, that our concerns “are fit for tin foil hat wearing, black heli- copter conspiracy theorists.” Maybe we are overreact- ing. Then again, maybe some healthy paranoia is in order. After all, even Henry Kissinger, former secretary of state under President Richard Nixon, reportedly once said: “Even paranoiacs have real enemies.” So, what is the threat from such a list? Maybe nothing. It could be nothing more than an innocent attempt to monitor the news coverage of this administration or of the DHS. We have that service now, and it’s called a clipping service. You can get as much or as little of the coverage from around the world on your particular subject of in- terest as you desire. Yet, most of us would admit we were troubled when we learned of this “project.” Could it be because we’ve seen our compatriots caged at political rallies like rabid animals and labeled un- American? Could it be because the news media has been called by our own president “the enemy of the American peo- ple”? Could it be because T-shirts with a noose hanging from a tree with the words “Rope. Tree.
