i mean, sure nobody wants to get attacked by some random motherfucker. but death happens constantly and i don't see people getting up in arms about it. or about malaria either. or hunger.
sounds like the plot wasn't going to work either. not sure if you guys read about the valve system etc.

You are completely right.
My question is how are you really going to stop terrorists? Their problem at the moment is probebly too much organization. What would be really scary was if they started attacking smaller targets. Small towns, schools, anything deemed unimportant. They won't of course because these people are giving up their lives and wanna take as many people down with them as possible. But the very idea that an attack could happen anywhere, that if you lived in some desert town you were no more safe than if you lived in New York or Washington DC would drive society into chaos. How could you stop bombs going off in resturants, barbers, town meetings? This is the reason ive always been logically opposed to the current administration's methods. Its very difficult to stop terrorists but you can stop doing things to antagonize them (like going into Iraq). I'm not saying the blame is totally on the side of the US (and places like the UK) either, i'm merely suggesting there are reasons why people get pissed off with each other and things like 9/11 happen. Dealing with those reasons is probebly a lot more helpful than crusading around the world telling everyone how great we are and how they should be more like us.
