The idea that any action is needed at all is often incorrect. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing.

A perfect case in point, the patriot act and the department of homeland security. That represented action taken. Solutions developed. Where they the right actions and the right solutions? Not in the least. Would we be better off without them? Probably.
