“Now, How many Americans, or residents of America have died in automobile accidents in the past 20 years? i’ll bet you find that the last number is at least an order of magnitude greater than the first number.

“Puts a perspective on our alleged ‘terrorism problem’ doesn’t it?”

No, it does not.

Because the trajectory of automobile accidents does not include the possibility of an exponential increase in future deaths, whereas the terrorist phenomenon does.

Unsupported allegation on both counts.

The first is unlikely but hardly impossible.

The second is extremely unlikely, and far less likely if Paul's policy of non-intervention (which is the traditional Republican policy) is followed.
