re: "Maybe you had to live through the "cold war" to understand how minor the terrorist threat is in comparison."

I don't agree that it is all that minor of a threat, but it is a different class of threat.


On a relative basis, it is certainly less of a threat than all out nuke war.

re: It is a great threat because it can disrupt the world economy like little else.

Come on man, you know better. The fear of terrorism may slightly disrupt the world economy, but not terrorist acts. These guys are nothing, fringe players with little power except the fear (terror) they create. If we are not scared, they have nothing.

It's political marketing... you are safe from the terrorists.
