#2 Of course this report was written before the latest escalations in Shiastan. It is not clear to me whether those represent a deterioration or improvement in security - or no significant change.

#3 Term Limits.

6 in the house. 2 in the senate. Nobody can serve more than 24 years combined in Washington DC, with the exception of those elected to the presidency.

#4 24 years is perfect. One full generation at the trough & then pass the office down to your son or daughter.
