For better or worse, we have new Washington leadership and a new direction for America.


 It's a softer and relational Washington, with whom international bondsare more important than national borders and boundaries. It's a moresecular Washington, which says that the country is no longer a"Christian nation." It's a more liberal Washington; it has enacted moreleft-leaning legislation in its first year than any previousadministration. It's a more generous Washington, from whom handouts,bailouts and borrowing are granted and given at record-breakingpolitical speed.

 But my greatest concern, I must confess, isthat it's a kinder and gentler Washington, to whom the global war onterror has turned into an "overseas contingency operation." That kinderand gentler Washington begs the question, "Are we returning to apre-9/11 mentality?" Pondering the answer prompts a pre-9/11 memory inwhich I fought that form of complacency via one of my television movies.

 In 2000, I had starred in a CBS movie of the week, called "ThePresident's Man," which garnered high ratings for the network. I playedJoshua McCord, the president's secret agent who masquerades as auniversity professor between assignments. Two years later, the networkwanted another film with me playing the same character.
