The OP seems to think Terrorism isn't a problem, or, at least, that saying so is somehow his small way of fighting it. I bet this warped notion has been implanted in his head by a misinformed, regressive and utterly idiotic media, so I'm not about to blame him for it, but I would gladly hear his further reasoning on the matter.
Well, terrorism is meant to make you terrified. It's also meant to draw an overreaction from the people attacked. Lets take the worst terrorist attack. Osama bin Laden himself said that part of the reason behind 9/11 was to bankrupt the United States. We certainly did over react to 9/11, we invaded 2 countries and needlessly killed hundreds of times the 9/11 victims, started a process that threw the whole middle east into chaos and now we have ISIS as part of a result of that chaos, which just furthers the spread of a corrupt ideology. That seems like a win for the terrorists. If we don't overreact
I'm not advocating doing nothing, just a proportioned response to how big of a problem it actually is. For example, thousands of times the number of terrorist victims die due to the obesity epidemic then to terrorism (in the United States). It would seem to make sense to focus thousands of times the resources on the larger problem rather then waste money on something just just isn't a big problem. That word big is important, because I never said it isn't a problem, it isn't a big problem. If you look at the number of deaths, there are just so many larger problems that we could proportionally be using our resources to fight.
Now convince me that terrorism is a larger problem then obesity or traffic accidents.
