    I just found this on digg.

    http://stpeteforpeace.org/real.threat.html

    It source's every row of the graph.

    What do you think of this? Was it worth spending billions on a war for the sake of 3000 lives, compared to the thousands more dieing from car crash's for example?

    It's useless fact.

    I mean if a city in the US was nuked & it killed 100,000 people then you can still say similar things "more people die from aids" or whatever lets deal with that instead.

    A deliberate attack on citizens & a country should result in a devastating blow to the perpetrators.

    It was designed to explain to you in pretty pictures and easy to understand words that the "threat" of terrorism is blown way out of proportion. But i guess most people aren't happy unless they have something to be completely and utterly terrified about... That reminds me, What happened to bird flu?

    My post was designed to explain to you that your fellow brothers like the suicide bombers that did 9/11 are not appreciated & no matter how little damage they do they must be hunted down/killed or jailed.

    Theres more dangerous things than jews in the world but some are still hooked on them;)

    So what you mean was your post was wildly off-topic and just another knee jerk reaction to something that happens to mention terrorism. If you want to live your life as a frightened little girl who thinks there are monsters under the bed that's up to you, But don't get frustrated when other, more balanced people, don't share your own irrational phobias.

    The fact remains. When compared to a variety of other causes of death, Terrorism shouldn't even be considered. Let alone worried about. You can see that by looking at the graph.

    They told you they spent money on war for those 3000 .... reality is something completely different ;)

    Pretty much the same like ww1 casue for war ... we all know the reason was somewhere else...as for any other war !

    And yes drunk drivers are terrorists also !

    In US alone, doctors kill 130k people, or at least that's the number they admit to. There is no way the oil industry can make money off fighting iatrogenic deaths, so you won't hear about it on FoxNews.
    Terrorism is a non-issue.

    I am not saying war is a bad thing, but they are spending too much for too little.

    How do you fight the terrorism? Tell us again what was your excuse for not serving your country while claiming it is under attack?

    1) "medical"
    2) convicted felon
    3) yellow belly

    :rolleyes: :D

    You are just a sissy, don't ever think that you are a man just because you are a loud mouth. ;)
