Your logic is incredible.
The logical conclusion to your notion that because no one single identifiable individual faces a specific threat from AQ is that nothing should be done since the threat is so small.
Absolutely amazing. I went ad nauseum [my nauseum] on this point with ionesco.
Never really got a decent response to the question of why, if this threat is so small, we suffered so many billions in economic damage and, why, if the threat is so small as related to the cost of defending against it, it hasn't been until recently that the stock market came up to pre-9/11 levels [I know, I know, it's impossible to prove to a mathematical certainty that the stock market decline is due only to the effects of 9/11, but if you don't think that a significant if not predominant reason for its decline post-9/11 is terror, then you are being purposefully obtuse.]
AQ would like nothing better than for us to say "Uncle!, Come and get us, we're so big it doesn't matter."
I can't think of a better way to promote terrorism than to lay down for it, as was done in the past,and as you aparently suggest. |
