Or alternatively, if we ruin the planet, and are killed by plague caused by denuding the forests and contacting strange viruses, or catastrophic environmental failure (which we didn't foresee because we were too worried about terrorism to study it very much) we may not wonder about anything, because we will all be dead. That will be special, won't it? There are so MANY alternatives- terrorism is only one of many. We really ought to be doing more about NEO's- if you want a recipe for disaster the NEO is much better than terrorists, and it's a project the rest of the world would probably be interested in. Not that the rest of the world isn't interested in terrorism- they've been dealing with it for a long time after all. But since they were already affected by and working on terrorism, one can understand why they aren't as shrill about it as the US. 9/11 only changed everything in the US for the people who thought the US was immune. Why they thought that, goodness only knows. Why they now think 9/11 "changed everything" goodness only knows. If it changed "everything" then those terrorists won- but luckily the "changed everything" mantra is just cheap rhetoric.
