Are we talking about different things? I am not understanding your questions. Your list went only to 2002, so it didn't have the terrorism numbers after we went to war, and I went looking for more lists after that, and while searching, came on the Patterns of Global Terrorism reports that listed the counts around the world and which raised questions that I thought were interesting about the numbers from 2002, 2003 and particularly why they stopped the report in 04. It was certainly as verifiable as your list. But I wasn't trying to "prove" anything one way or another. I wish everyone would quit thinking that questions and comments about facts found during a google equals argument. For me it's usually just something I found that was provocative. Causality needs to be verifiable; it has nothing to do with fear or your gut feeling about something. ANd the causality I thought we were discussing was that of the invasion of Iraq effecting a safer world-- which is just not verifiable since we can't separate all the factors that are involved. Are you talking about some other causality? I think we are just talking about different things. Dunno.
