This video perfectly encapsulates my thoughts about our nation wide plunge into authoritarianism after September 11th, 2001. I think Sisko's message is all the more relevant considering the events of recent years.
"If the Changelings (bad guys) want to destroy what we've built here they're going to have to do it themselves. We're not going to do it for them." - Captain Sisko
I don't know if any of the recent presidents we've had watch Star Trek or not but they probably should.
