I believe everyone does to an extent.
But the people who live in big cities, cities who have nuclear plants and stuff like that would feel more threatened then I do.
I live in a very small community and it is no where near any place that a terrorist would consider a threat or a place to do anything major. We have no subways, no trains, no bridges or anything like that.
So I actually feel pretty safe where I am at.

Terrorism is a threat to countries assosiatted with America. Thats a known fact. Look at recent terrorist attacks. 9/11 , the london bombings, the bali bombings, the recent scare in the uk. All this is connected to Americas involvement in the middle east.
For those that dont agree with me then why havent other countries been attacked? Malta, Sweden, Japan, Germany, Scotland, New Zealand, Greece just to name a few. Countries like these and many more have not been a target by Al qeada and muslim extremist because they are not American puppets. If you choose to intervene in other countries affairs , then you become a target of terrorism. Living in Australia , the australian government has chosen to follow the United States into the middle east. That being the case Australia is a target and i feel threatened.
Terrorism will always be there , however you see that it only effects countries assosiated with the United States of America. Im not talking about the american people , im talking about American foreign policy. Thats what needs to be changed.
Classic Example: What business is it of the united staes to intervene in the Israel / lebanon crisis. Its none of their business. Thats for the united nations to sort out. America thinks its the world police . They are not . The United Nations are and thats why it was created after the world wars. To stop countries from fighting against one another. America should just stick to making movies , thats what they are good at . You never seen man walking on the moon? <-------Made in Hollywood!

No, and I live in NY (but if they rebuild the WTC I would never work there). Bush is just trying to scare people so his illegal regime can stay in power. He is always talking about how the terrorists are threatening our way of life, but he is the one threatening our way of life. Unfortunately, terrorists may succeed again in killing thousands of people, but they can't destroy our democracy or get rid or our freedom - but George W. Bush can and will if he is not stopped.
Bush is responsible for far more American deaths that the 9/11 terrorists, not to mention those in Iraq. Not only that, but we still have not conducted a legitimate investigation into 9/11, and it is very possible that the Bush regime was directly involved, or at the very least knew about it and intentionally did nothing to stop it.
You are far more likely to be killed by secondhand cigarette smoke or the consequences of pollution and global warming.

currently i do not feel I am threatened by terrorism. I truly believe the "BUSH" syndrom is more of a threat in our government. The media ploy to make everyone fearful is a crying shame. People of color, or different cultures are singled out at airports.....I truly believe " ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABOSOLUTLY"!
I think the man heading our government has to much power and rains media news as his way to stay powerful. He's found out that the people in our country have lost respect for him as a leader!

The way we are playing into their hands, instigating them, dissing their culture, supporting them with our oil money, paying so much attention to them, acting like we're all scared, acknowledging them, occupying their countries - yea I'm a little threatened. Not as much as walking the streets of Central City at night. They blew their big wad and attacked us and we took some preventive measures and then we freaked all out and made it the top priority in the whole world. Overreaction is the key word here. Overreaction.

No. If something is going to happen, it's going to happen and nothing I can do to stop it. All I can do is hope if some form of terrorism happens, I'm not in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sometimes I do. I live in a large city and the air force base here is considered one of the biggest in the country. But there's also alot of security there, and life is too short to be worrying everyday that something bad is gonna happen.

Every damn day! But Feeling threatened and being worried gets you no where. I'd rather be enjoying day to day, than watching my back, and jumping on whatever a reporter ever said!

Of course. Anything could happen anytime but this is everywhere around the world. It's a world problem.
Just get on with your life. You shouldn't be thinking about it that much. If something happens it happens.
