Maybe in the future politicians will say that it is indeed a little pointless to allocate 20% of the annual governmental budget to prevent 3000 terror-deaths, while the same money could save 100,000 in hospitals if it were to be spent on medicine rather than anti-terror measures. (But maybe that's just my wishful thinking).
Maybe this sounds rational to some people, but who says the U.S. spends 20% of the budget to prevent 3,000 terror deaths? Who are the 100,000 who would be saved in hospitals
This was written by someone who is absolutely certain that he will not be one of the 3,000 -- if indeed the terrorists who ever they may be are shooting for 3,000.
