Terrorism in Perspective

Thomas Paine's Corner: Bush and Terrorism:

"This morbid fear of terrorism does not comport with reality. In an article by Zbigniew Brzezinski, entitled “The Dilemma of the Last Sovereign,” Brzezinski puts the matter of global terrorism in proper perspective, citing highly credible sources, including our own Department of State (which once had credibility before Colin Powell and Condi Rice stunk up the place):

'According to official World Health Organization and Department of State statistics, global deaths per year due to physical violence amounted to 1,600,000 (2002), traffic
accidents, 1,200,000 (2004), and terrorism 625 (2003).”

And yet, here in America, our whole world turns on this subject of terrorism. 9/11 took care of that. America, never before attacked on its own soil in modern times, was traumatized."
