September 10th all over again.
#1 - Terrorism is just one facet of Islamic war. They will shift to regular warfare once they believe they have the strength. Are all the victims of pogroms, those who wandered into Muslim "no-go" areas and were never seen again, the victims of the Sudanese genocide and the savage riots from Aceh to Algeria counted in their figures? I don't think so. I doubt they even have figured in the dead from the Jewish center just two weeks back, because it - like so many other such incidents - have politically-correctly not been classified as the terrorist incidents they are.
#2 - There are more casualties than just the dead. Often the wounded wish they were dead. Do these count?
#3 - Does the fact that an enemy is effectively imposing restrictions on the way we live by forcing us to adopt these security measures factor into this at all?
#4 - There is no way to reduce your exposure to terrorism without also reducing your freedom. On the other hand, you can reduce your exposure to crime by owning a gun and learning how to use it; reduce your exposure to highway accidents by driving carefully and soberly, and so on. Terrorism you can only reduce your exposure by being dead or hiding in a cave.
I could go on, but this article is such nonsense it's not worth it.
Oh, and I should add, for the odds being so damned small, how is it that I personally have been twice attacked by these allegedly low-odds terrorists? Oh yeah, I worked in the World Trade Center. I guess we'll all just have to abandon anything prominent that may get targeted... keep our heads down... not make waves... maybe a burkha would help. I've got it! We can all convert to Islam and then they won't want to kill us anymore!
