At those pitiably low tax rates, your government needs to put its limited resources toward blue-chip causes like citizens' health and education, rather than pursuing vendettas in Western and Central Asia.

I'm more concerned about deer and cars, than terrorists.

More people annually are killed by deer than terrorism.

And since 9/11, 190,000+ people have been killed because of cars in the United States alone. Every four weeks, the number of people killed by cars in the U.S. exceeds the total number of fatalities from 9/11.

So if so, why fear terrorism?

And how is a suicide bomber really any different than the nut-job serial killers here in the United Stattes who open fire in a [circle one] (school, church, bank, post office, highway, other) only to later shoot and kill themselves? They both cause a lot of deaths, and they end up being dead. The only difference is that once uses a bomb and the other uses a high-powered and/or automatic weapon. That's all.
