So, you think we should wait for a really big mass casualty event before getting serious about terrorism? 9/11 wasn't enough for you? What would it take? 50,000? 100,000? Would you call it a threat then?

Because, as a civilization, we have this silly idea that people have a human right to life, we get upset when they are deliberately murdered. When they are deliberately murdered by someone who proudly claims credit for their deaths and announces his intention to do it again, many times over, we assign a high priority to preventing it.

I tell you this because you seem to be unclear on the concept of "murder."
