A very well written article on the actual dangers associated with terrorism. As opposed to the blaring headlines and scare tactics of Bushco and assorted other corporate poltiticians and fear mongers.

"The bottom line is, terrorism doesn't kill many people. Even in Israel, you're four times more likely to die in a car wreck than as a result of a
terrorist attack. In the USA, you need to be more worried about lightning strikes than terrorism. The point of terrorism is to create terror, and by cynically convincing us that our very countries are at risk from terrorism, our politicians have delivered utter victory to the terrorists: we are terrified."
