Bush Wants To Destroy Civil Liberties

[Nitro Express]

People have been worrying about nuclear attacks ever since the Soviet Union got their first bomb. I have lived my whole life in the nuclear holocaust possibility. So far nothing has gone bang. I'm more worried about getting hit by a drunk driver driving home from the grocery store.

Absolutely which is why it's not worth ruining our countries giving a win for the terrorists.

9-11 was a catastrophe but being pragmatic about it 2974 people died compared to 42,196 in US traffic accidents the same year.

I can't think of any deaths in the US from terrorists in the US since then but there have been over a quarter of a million killed on the roads and about 100 000 killed by firearms.

I'm inclined to think and Katrina confrims it that the lack of deaths on US soil is more to do with it being an unlikely event rather than Homeland Security being absolute geniuses.

If the threat was as high as they like to say then even if they were brilliant the odd thing would be slipping through.

Cheers!

that comment right there proves that you are in a dreamworld. let us all know when you come back from fantasy land or where ever it is that terrorist are largely nonexistent.

you put up a good smokescreen acting as if you know whats going on with all your bullshit posts in this forum but this just proves your nothing more than a link poster who acctually has no real grip on whats going on in this war on terror.

Especially when you consider our 6,000 miles of borders are as porous as ever, our coastlines are wide open, and tens of thousands of containers come into our open ports daily.

A "known" terrorist wouldn't need to pick up a phone and dial, when you consider the 12,000 miles of unguarded soft spots



Homeland Security has been a joke from day 1

pre-war, the terrorist connection to iraq was largely nonexistent.

saddam? bad guy. oppressive dictator. WMDs? maybe, but probably not. more likely, he kept the ability to make them in the future, and liked his enemies (israel, iran) thinking he might be more dangerous if attacked.

but direct threat to make 9/12 on the U.S.? no, largely nonexistent.
