Prepared is not the same as scared.
I don't think we should be scared, but it is a good idea, to be prepared, at least to some extent. Not that I am really prepared for everything.

The Courage to change the things I can,

And the Wisdom, to know the difference"

My comment was in no means intended as an insult or a slur to you or anyone else who findsit necessary to make certain preparations...I encourage anyone who feels that it's necessary to do so. I have put some cash aside and have the same emergency kit we use for hurricaine warnings. But even with that I doubt that al-queda is in any shape to attack.
