Terrorism in PerspectivePosted on Sep 18, 2006
Wired News put together a chart that compares the odds of being killed by a terrorist in the United States to other causes of death. Apparently, we’re much more likely to die from hernia.

You are more likely to die by your own hand, suicide, or entirely by doctor error than by terrorism, automobile accident and homicide combined. Best to care for ones mental and physical health.
15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi, as is Osama binLaden. What nationality are most suicide bombers in Iraq? Most come from Saudi Arabia and Jordan known from suicide notes, video admissions, and family member confessions. So what makes more sense, overthrow Iraqs dictatorship or Saudi Arabias? An equal response to 9/11 would lead to 80% of our War on Terrorism being fought in Saudi Arabia.
