I’ve been saying this ever since 9/11 occurred and finally have read someone who agrees with me at The American Prospect: Terrorism is not a serious threat to Americans.
I contend that the events of 9/11 were an act of symbolic aggression. If al-Quaeda (or whoever else) wants to disrupt Americans’ daily lives and instill fear among us, they would have done better and saved a lot of money simply by sending their 19 hijackers into 19 different American cities and towns and having them detonate in buses, public markets and subway cars. There would be no stopping such a tactic. Ask Britain or Israel.
