How Safe Are We Today From Terrorism?
This question is always on my mind, and I feel that safety from terrorist acts of violence is relative! Terrorism as we have come to understand it in America was never fully explained to us until the Sept-11-2001 incident in New York City
Since then, terrorism has taken on ever newer connotations. Depending on who is speaking. Sadam Husein was ousted from Power under the guise of removing a Dictator who sponsors or give succur to terrorists. Weapons of mass destruction was also used as the excuse to invade his country and depose him. But terrorisn has not ceased in frequency around the world. In fact it has increased a thousand fold!
In the middle eastern countries, the feeling is that ever since America & their allies invaded Iraq, has triggered a sence of Jihad in the Moslem countries to oust the invaders/occupiers.So terrorism has taken on the flavor of protecting Iraqi soverignty. The same holds true for Afghanistan. So how safe are we here in the USA.
I say relatively. It is only a matter of time and circunstance before another tragic attack takes place. The volume & magnitude is left to the imagination!
