I don't live my life in fear becaus eI am not really scared of terrorists attacks. Not becuase Bush has done anything special, other than reduce our Civil Liberties and, increase our National Debt and made Big Brother an even greater presense in our lives.
No, I don't live in fear because look at what and where the attacks have occured.
1993 - New York and the World Trade Center
2001 - New York, the World Trade Center. Washington, D.C., the Pentagon. Pennsylvania (though the attack was probably aimed at the White House).
On those dates, over 99.99% of the American public was safe and over 99.95% (or more) of New York City residents were safe. The terrorists target major public buildings or icons. Why? Because if they damage or destroy them, they take innocent lives and they get WORLD attention for what they have done and that helps them with recruits.
If terrorists targeted a farm house in Iowa and killed a family, that wouldn't get much attention world-wide. No, they want BIG targets that will gain them major publicity.
On 9/11, I was MORE afraid of the idiots on the road driving around trying to find gasoline than I was of being attacked by a terrorist. Today, I am still not worried about terrorists. I am MORE worried about the National debt and how the heck we are going to pay for it. Because like I said before, when the terrorists attacked, over 99.99% of the American public was safe but with Bush continuing to fight these wars and intruding on our Civil Liberties by using illegal spying techniques, 100% of our population is at risk.
