Does the prevention of the airline terror plot In England prove that the "War on Terror" is money well spent?

Answer 1

How many people would a plane hold. Lets just put it at 100 each which we all know it is more like 300 each. So that would be 1000 people, Or 3000, How many millions or billions of dollars is each life worth? How many dollars have we spent? I value my life way above any amount of money. So yes money well spent.

Answer 2

It proves that we should be spending far more on Intelligence like this and far less on stupidity like Iraq.

By the way, many times the Bill Clinton administration thwarted plots just like this, but we didn't hear a word about it. It was enough that we were safe. No one felt the need to advertise it, attracting copy-cat terrorists. Clinton felt terrible for the first Trade Center attack, the US Cole, and the embassy bombings in East Africa. He took the War On Terror to a whole new level. On his last day in office, Bubba warned Bush about al Qaida being our greatest internal threat.

History will show how the Bush administration dropped the football. Everything George has done since then is to try to clean up his own image. And make a few megabucks in the process.

I won't even go into the dismantling of the Constitution and our Civil Rights and the substitution of Freedom and Liberty for Martial Law and Oligarchy. I've got a seven-hundred page book that barely scratches the surface on that.

Remember, more Intelligence. Less stupidity. Don't forget to vote, and which party is which. If you can't tell anymore, that's exactly why I don't vote for the two big parties. We have a handful of better choices, and only one or two worse.

Answer 3

Try to imagine those planes, 10, blowing up at the terminals in the US, not in the air over water.
