because there isn't one. terrorists have already achieved their goal of scaring u.s officials to death -- now, before i get more into this, a few notes:
1. i'm not going to bother with capitalization
2. i'm not trash talking america, or trying to make it seem like terrorist attacks no longer happen, or terrorism for that matter
3. i'm not siding with terrorists
the main goal of terrorism is to strike terror into people, hence the term. but what national security is doing is just a bit overboard. people are not getting the information they need about terrorism.
for example, i overheard somebody talking one day about the boston bombing (gbts) and how al-qaeda was behind it. the government is so petrified with fear over more terrorist attacks that they are neglecting telling people the facts.
some people might respond with negative words because of what i'm going to say next -
how many americans do you think have been killed in terrorist attacks since 2001?
egyptian hesham mohamed hadayet killed two israelis at the el al ticket counter at the los angeles airport on july 4, 2002. on june 1, 2009, abdulhakim muhammed killed one soldier at a recruiting center in little rock, arkansas, and army psychiatrist maj. nidal hasan killed 13 soldiers during a shooting rampage in at fort hood, texas in november 2009, and these are up until 2011.
i will however, count in the death toll of the boston bombing, a more recent terrorist attack by two(or more) confused boys. the death toll now adds up to about 19 people.
i'll let you finish discussing this - because i haven't really made my point yet. however, if you don't feel like debating, i'll finish my point. |
