IN THE US

If the "movement" was all that effective, you'd expect to see better results In THE US, in terms of a good kill rate. Since many other things are at this moment killing a whole lot more people, In THE US, I don't take it personally, I just think you are very, very wrong in your opinion. But thanks for sharing with me.

(It's very sad other countries are having trouble with terrorist murders- but I'm really more interested in America, and what most threatens us NOW. Not that I'm arguing we shouldn't protect ourselves from terror, if you thought that, you misread my post- I just wouldn't put terror at the top of the list, because it just doesn't seem to warrant it. Ostrich no, logical weigher of fatlities and risks, yes.)

The world-wide terrorist movement intends to kill all Christians, kill all Jews and kill all Americans.

What they intend to do and what they can do are two different things. We don't assess risk solely by intent. If we did, we'd be worried about Kucinich becoming President.

Flu is much more of a threat than terrorism and we barely give that a thought.
