MANY, MANY,MANY more Americans die from other Americans that terroist. In fact, any arbitrary US citizen is more likely to commmit suicide than be killed by a non-American. So should we all wear striaght jackets? (No)
So why haven't I heard about this?

Because there's all this fevor about "terrorist posing a threat to us". Yes, they do pose a threat, but we are tuly our own greatest enemy. Like the reasoning for invading Iraq.

Hey I've been saying the for years, 40,000 Americans are killed in car "accidents" each year. Much worse than most wars (except the Civil War and WWII).

Usually, when Americans kill other Americans, it is not an attempt to make a political statement, nor is it generally an attempt to make large quantities of people live in fear. There's a huge difference in Billy Buck killing Jimbo and Khalid coming over and flying a plane into a building full of people.

Contractors and politicians have been merrily raping the taxpayers since 9-11 by maintaining a state of hysteria among the sheeple.
That's where their corporate broadcasting/propaganda conglomerates come in handy.

Although not likely, it is possible for terrorist to kill more or a comparable amount to those that die as a resulot of the other actions

Suicide is a personal choice.
Ordinary crime doesn't target ALL of us jointly and randomly.
Terrorism is a hate crime that doesn't differentiate between individuals.
