There were no terrorist attacks at all in the United States, five in Africa and nine in Western Europe. Nearly all the rest were in Asia (99), Latin America (50) and the Middle East (29). (Forty-one of the total 50 incidents reported as terrorism in all of Latin America last year were bombings of a U.S.-owned oil pipeline in Colombia.)

Now, in an official report few will read, or are expected to read, their government admits that terrorism is at its lowest level in three decades, and that the actual risk it poses is statistically negligible. At the same time, the same government tells them they must live in fear of "appalling crimes" and mass destruction. Where is this leading Americans?

"There were no terrorist attacks at all in the United States"

And we like it like that and want to make sure that it stays that way!

The number Terroristic attacks are going back for a couple of years now, this is (danger: Liberal Propaganda!) not related to the current Bush administration and their "war on terror".
