      ab: The Bush administration had little choice but to create a bureaucracy to confront the threat of international terrorism. This bureaucracy has enjoyed some successes, but the vast scope of the Department of Homeland Security's responsibilities and its failure to develop crucial tasks for most of its components show that the new department has not yet developed a coherent national strategy. Using good management, many of its components could become more agile and effective, but the department does not include some functions it probably should and includes some that would probably do better outside the department. Many of the department's early problems were probably unavoidable—no one expected 22 different agencies to merge seamlessly—but so far it seems that it has much to do in order to make America safer.
