"I don't think there's any question that when you get the number one terrorist in the world, that we're a little safer today than we were when he was alive. But I also don't think we ought to kid ourselves that killing Usama Bin Ladin kills al-Qa'ida. Al-Qa'ida still remains a threat, they're still going to try to attack our country, and I think we have to continue to be vigilant and continue the effort to ultimately defeat these guys. We damaged them, but we still have to defeat them."
The Americans feel dismayed because they were told that the FBI had known about the attacks even before Sept. 11 and had warned the U.S. leader about them. They must be wondering why no measure had been taken to prevent them from happening. How could they allow American society to be faced with dire consequences on an unprecedented scale? …
Such a situation points to the fact that U.S. society seems to have tunnel vision. It is busy thinking about itself. It has little or no knowledge about the world that lies beyond the United States.

You make a very good point, thank you
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

To put my opinion in a better perspective, I suggest you consider the public response had the government announced the "War On Diarrhea". After all, as more people died from diarrhea than from terrorism, it only makes sense that the "War On Diarrhea" should command a commensurately larger expenditure of public funds, say maybe 2 trillion a year. Then of course, given the higher percentage killed, we should launch a 50 trillion dollar "War On Cars". Wait a minute, stop laughing! I'm SERIOUS. I know you say a certain amount of death is inevitable and that it's the human condition. That's not the point. The POINT is that we can't get elected unless we DO SOMETHING.
Voting for Paul will cause that SOMETHING to be Liberty, with a big side order of SERIOUS defense. Not security theater that bankrupts us and enriches the military industrial complex.
A terrorist can not take away your freedom. Obama CAN.
You are correct that American society is not very knowledgeable of things that occur elsewhere. I do see more and more paying attention to what is happening worldwide though. and many are now looking to foreign media to get the news that is not reported domestically.
I don't fear it at all but it is something to be mentally and physically prepared for.
I do feel somewhat less fearful of a repeat of a large scale attack on American soil comparable to the 9-11 attack due of the decimation of Al Qaeda's leadership and the treasure trove of intell we got from the raid on OBL's compound in Pakistan.

More Americans have died of car-accidents than terrorist attacks. Shouldn't we fear cars more than terrorists?
If such an attack comes then it will come. But this time if it is proven that is of Islamic origin bye bye Mecca, Bye Bye Tehran, and each capitol of every Islamic nation in the world. PERIOD.
As the saying goes "Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice" look the F**k out.
You can only push people for so long until they get pissed. Right now, thanks to Obama's pandering to known terrorism support groups, the Muslims with their silence and a host of other world leaders trying to impose dictatorial measures against the American people, people are getting extremely pissed.
Bush kicked ass when it needed to be done,as soon. Not years later a few weeks later.
Near 11 years later No attacks. Yes Obama finished the job,started by Bush,by finally finding Usama & putting a bullet where it belongs. But to continue No Attacks,go to go after the other guy,Usama's boyfriend,who wants to attack America for the killing.
