techquerrilla. You said....." I can't take this war on terrorism seriously "......... I assume you did not lose any loved ones on 9/11? You said...." Are we simply to live in fear all the time? There hasn't been another attack since September 11."..... Perhaps your government has done a good job of preventing any further islam terror attacks....so far.

What was that orange alert all about yesterday anyway? What its about is they found 3 year old plans to attack those locations. People are saying if the plans are 3 years old then there is no threat. WRONG! Based on past AQ history, it means this is about the time they would enter the operational phase. AQ always takes 3 or more years of detailed and careful planning before the simulateneous attacks occur.

Speaking for myself, I'm just willing to take my chances everyday as I always have. I know I'm much more at risk when I pull my car out of the driveway than I'll ever be from terrorists. I know when I'm outside in an open space during a thunderstorm my personal threat level is higher than terrorists will ever make it. People like drama in their lives, and phony fear brings drama, drama that's really fairly safe. Bush brings the drama, which makes people feel important, like they're important enough that someone wants to kill them. They're not! For a terrorist, any American will do, so it's not about YOU. Statistically, you're safe as houses.
