Re: What I wish ANY politician would say about terrorism
[ QUOTE ]
I agree with you but I think that you have to condsider the economic impact that another major terroist attack in this country would have. Hopefully a politican will be able to succesfully put terroism in its proper context. It seems very unlikely one would even attempt this in the current political climate.

1) Consider the economic impact that five million ten-ton pink elephants plummetting to earth simultaneously would have.
2) Consider the economic impact of preventing terrorist attacks to the degree that we are (high spending, annoying regulations, lost civil liberties)
3) Consider the effect of waging pre-emptive wars on another nation's leader's (correct) perception of this country as a threat to the welfare of the world, and the desire to dismantle it.
