We Are Far Less Safe Now Than Before 9-11-2001

Three years have now gone by since the September 11th attacks in 2001, and terrorism is a far greater threat to us now than it was then.

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) September 13, 2004 -- Three years have now gone by since the September 11th attacks in 2001, and terrorism is a far greater threat to us now than it was then. The number and severity of terrorist attacks worldwide has increased dramatically, as has the number of active terrorists.

Before 9/11, terrorism was confined to a small number of extremist individuals, loosely linked by radical Islam and hatred of Israel and its sole supporter, the USA. Now, many more moderate Muslims have become radicalized, world-wide, willing to kill innocent civilians in order to achieve their purposes. And the serious targets have expanded to include civilians in Russia, India, Maylasia, the
Philippines, Spain, and elsewhere, as well as Israel and its sole
supporter, the United States.

True, the USA has not suffered a successful major attack since 9/11, but this does not mean that we are safer. The terrorists could strike any time they choose, through any of the numerous loopholes so well reported in our media. But they have chosen not to attack, perhaps because they are waiting to produce an effect even greater than the 9/11 attacks, so they do not appear to be losing strength.

What could be more spectacular than the 9/11 attacks? Nuclear! Or massive bio-chemical attack! And I think this is what they are waiting for. All of our frantic preparations may have had some effect in preventing small-time casual attacks, but they cannot stop a serious planned attack, any more than a mere door lock can
stop a serious robber who really wants to get into your house.

So the Bush administration can keep claiming that we are safer now, under their policies. But this claim is merely feel-good propaganda, intended to keep the neo-cons in power. It cannot withstand clear-headed scrutiny. The fact is, Bush policies have failed completely even to diminish terrorism, much less defeat it.

By trying to "stamp out" terrorism by killing terrorists, Bush and Israel have made things infinitely worse for us: more dangerous, not safer. And proof that Bush has failed may come at any moment, explosively, with one big successful attack here in the USA.

May God help us all.
