> How many "terrorists" are really out there? I was intrigued by this question and wondered the same. I created this Google spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhTjVTjz9GpldFJoYUVEMjJ1bHI2NFh5V3YxWUwzR3c#gid=0 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhTjVTjz9GpldFJ...) with the estimated strength of all groups listed here: http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2011/195553.htm#ano http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2011/195553.htm#ano. As of 2011, it would appear that the US government has calculated there are approximately 50,000-100,000 terrorists worldwide. I did not include the names of the groups in the spreadsheet, but I went top-to-bottom through the list and recorded the "Strength" of each group and put it into a cell. Unfortunately, the estimates are almost entirely vague and nebulous (probably intentionally), so I was very generous in my calculations. The spreadsheet is world editable, so I invite any contributions. For scale, according to Wikipedia and this site: http://www.citypopulation.de/USA-California.html http://www.citypopulation.de/USA-California.html, all terrorists in the world identified by the US government would fit in a city between the size of Novato, CA (50K population) and Boulder, CO (100K population). According to the DoD budget here (http://comptroller.defense.gov/defbudget/fy2014/FY2014_Budget_Request_Overview_Book.pdf http://comptroller.defense.gov/defbudget/fy2014/FY2014_Budge...) we have spent $1.5 trillion dollars on "Overseas Contingency Operations" since FY2001. Taking that data into account, we have spent $17 million for every single known terrorist in the world since 2001, at a rate of $1.2 million per year (14 years). According to this: http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=66 http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=66 we spend $10,694 per year on pupils in the US public education system. Are there any people out there who happen to know off-hand how much money the French government spends per person on healthcare?
