Al Qaeda’s leaders threatened in 2003 to attack America.
Experts warn that terrorists could destroy a city with WMDs.
Maybe there are just a few terrorists with the zeal and the competence to attack the US.
The total number of Americans who have died as a result of terrorist acts is fewer than the number who drowned in bathtubs during this period.
Has the terror industry become the newest hot investment sector?

Terrorists have been around since before the 11th century. If you look at the history of the world you'll see just truly how long people have been at "war" with terrorists. I'm not naive enough to know there are not some very bad people out there who hate America but we need to take a different approach to it. Instead of trying to chase them half way around the world I think we need more homeland security.
Just think where we'd be if the billions of dollars we've spent in Iraq would've went into security here at home? We might as well face the facts there will ALWAYS be terrorists, and if anyone can honestly tell me that one day we'll capture the "last" one and be done with it, you're living in a false reality. We have the resources, we just need to be smarter about how we utilize them.

I believe we should in fact be afraid, very afraid, but not of this fictitious "terrorist" threat. The real threat is our government of corruption and scandal. Every, yes, every attack that was deemed a "terrorist" threat on the US links directly back to our own CIA or Israeli Mossad.

You have to ask?
just look at how much CASH $$$$$$$ went missing in Iraq!
Senor technology, hi-tech, lo-tech, service industry, maintenance... take your pick, if it has anything to do with Iraq, those industries are making the big-bucks.
along with flag, shoe polish, blank ammo,casket manufactures.

You better get out of here, soon. Go to France.
I don't think AlQada had any hand in the bathtub killings here.
The comparison is sickening.
Why don't you just defend all killers?

We can't do anything about people drowning in bath tubs. But we can do something about islamo-fascist that are sworn to kill us. Is it really that hard to understand?

I don't believe those statistics. More people died in the twin towers than drown in bathtubs.

Not so much sworn to destroy our way of life. It's just their day job.

You phrase your question in a way that makes you look stupid. I'd advise against doing this in the future. Terrorists are getting stronger, and they want us all dead solely because we're not muslims.

What does that have to do with the price of burkas in Afghanistan?
