Yes you did. You have been saying, as Ron Paul did, that the chance of getting killed due to a terrorist attack is much lower than getting killed in an accident on the highway, getting struck by lightning, etc. Before the first attack on the WTC, the chances of getting killed in a terrorist attack were zero. Then the chances went up after the first attack on the WTC in 1993, and again the chances went up (considerably this time) after 9/11/01. With each successive attack on our soil (not to mention the numerous attacks on our interests outside of this country), the chances get better and better. So please enlighten me and tell me what exactly you are suggesting. Just how many American deaths does it take before we take radical Islam seriously and try to eradicate it?
Not the same as saying that nothing should be done about it.
Before the first attack on the WTC, the chances of getting killed in a terrorist attack were zero.
Wrong. And completely ridiculous.
Then the chances went up after the first attack on the WTC in 1993, and again the chances went up (considerably this time) after 9/11/01. With each successive attack on our soil (not to mention the numerous attacks on our interests outside of this country), the chances get better and better.
This shows a ludicrous misunderstanding of probability.
Just how many American deaths does it take before we take radical Islam seriously and try to eradicate it?
We should take it seriously now. Again, no one said otherwise.
