Or hijack jetplanes or train in camps. The lone nutcases were not part of a cell that I would expect my government to protect me from. Individual “terrorism” is much harder to predict and prevent as it is generally planned in the mind of one person.

We’ve never had a suicide bomber.

Destroy the evidence by tossing them overboard with a pork chop in their mouth.

Your statement now differs from your original line of, “we haven't been attacked since 9/11” I was the one that confirmed we had, just not as spectacular.

Individual “terrorism” = ???

Is that something less so because they are individuals? Cells are formed to isolate from the larger organization. Individuals without logistical and/or material support and espouse islamofacist ideology may follow Fatwa and kill Americans, make them terrorists.

So what...

I can’t even work myself up to that degree of indignation.

You’re missing my point about what I expect the government to protect me from. On Sept. 11 I kept thinking “this isn’t supposed to happen here.” I did not think about the other incidents in the same way. Remember the U of TX sniper? I don’t remember him being called a terrorist. He was a nutcase. There are nuances in personal perception and I’ll bet if you asked 100 people if there have been “terrorist” attacks in America in the last 7 years some would count those you mentioned and some would not. Enough on the subject. I respect your intelligence, please respect mine. Last post from me.

Strange, I haven’t read anything in the leftist press about the babies and their families being jammed into filthy overcrowded jails in Zimbabwe because their parents voted against the regime.

And I allege that they sleep with animals. So what, it means nothing, except it is part of a concerted effort to destroy us.
