You're argument is a bit silly and childish though. Couldn't your silly statistic be explained by the fact that we do "fight terrorists." I'm not saying it is but logically you leave that pretty wide open.
That said, I do agree that much of the "war on terrorism" has led to huge financial wastes with no practical benefit and even corruption with these large contractors. But I don't think I agree in a fantasy conception of the world in which terrorism, or whatever you want to call it, does not exist.
- mark_l_watson 13y agoI believe the statistic hiliting the relatively few deaths from terrorism is valid, and supports my contention is that the USA probably spends an order of magnitude too much fighting terrorism. It is unclear, but I think it is possible that programs like global NSA hoovering and drone attacks in other countries might put us in more danger of terrorist acts. BTW, I never stated that terrorism doesn't exist.
