Nice Host, proclaim that those who view Terrorism as a threat are insecure about their masculinity? Nice veiled insult.
Etarip, yes not that many have died as a result of terrorism as opposed to other factors. But then again TONS more die every year as a result of disease and old age than say, murders.
Does this mean we should not worry about being murdered? Hell, murders do not kill many people, therefor we do not need city/county/state/national police departements because it's not a big threat. Imagine the impact that if in a single city if 2,843 people were murdered within hours. The city, state, and nation would do anything within it's powers to capture those responsible and would invest massive amounts of money to prevent the possibility of happening again. Then tell the city that it's not an actual threat, because they're more likely to have a heart attack.
Now the problem you run into is the chicken or egg. Are there few deaths because of ineptitude of terrorists or the professional and effective conduct of the anti-terrorist forces.
You will NOT convince me that Al-Qaeda have not been planning more attacks. They live only to kill and destroy America at this point. Host your point about small towns getting federal aid for anti-terrorism, that's valid, it pisses me off. But it has nothing to do with this.
