3,000 Americans have been killed by terrorism in ten years. We've invested a trillion dollars in various wars here in the last 8 years. We've lost 4000 soldiers in those wars.

Contrast this with 600,000 dead of infections in hospitals. We took 2,600 FBI who were prosecuting normal crime to fighting terrorism. The murder rate is way up. We took 5 billion from New Orleans dike maintenance and 1000 people died.

Do we care how we die? A trillion dollars invested in alternate energy eliminates our need to be in the Middle East. Manage risk. Spend money where it saves the most lives. Terrorism is the last resort of the powerless. Don't be ruled by idiotic fears
