Uuuh, the point of the article is that the odds of dying from a terrorist attack is much smaller than dying from any of those other causes. That means the same goes for your loved ones. Your aunt has a better chance of dying by falling than being killed in a terrorist attack. Your sister has a better chance of having a heart attack than dying from terrorism. Get it now, brainiac?

Here is the problem with this stupid article. What are the chances that someone you love and care about is in one of these malls? Or that innocent fellow Americans are being slaughtered? Don't worry, it's not you who is being killed... This is stupid reasoning that people are only worrying about themselves, which is absolutely selfish liberalism. Does this guy care if his family is blown up on a plane or is he just worried about #1?

Wrong troll.

That means the same goes for your loved ones.

You mean to tell me that your risk of dying in a terrorist attack OR a loved one (ex. spouse, 2 children, mom,dad,brothers,sisters) is the same as if it just happened to you is the same? What's this, the NEW MATH? Get a GRIPPO!

I doubt that this dope doesn't care about the war in Iraq because it doesn't affect him personally and he doesn't have to worry about being drafted...
