He also goes on to say that Jack Bauer's no-holds-barred approach to fighting terrorism simply represents common sense, something we have dismissed in our fight against terrorism, because we're mired in constitutional and law enforcement issues instead of approaching it like the war that it is. This explains, in part, the show's popularity.
