[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Radical Islamic Violence"[b] is not very realistic threat to the average American, [/b]unless they spend a lot of time abroad [b]in those areas[/b]. If you think it is an imminent threat that affects "most  Americans" [b]here on U.S soil[/b], a doctor can prescribe medication for your paranoid/schizo personality disorder. I'm fairly certain that any given American has a higher chance of hitting the jackpot for mega-millions than being involved in a terrorist attack.  I didn't crunch the numbers but the odds are pretty astronomically low.[/quote]

And that's the "never going to happen here" bloated American mentality they are banking on.

We are America, we are exempt from all the tragic events that happen in other parts of the world because we are Americans.

It's not surprising though.  America is a very young country.  Thus the teenage "superman" complex is still very much pervasive as a young country.

That plus the appalling lack of World History and geography taught to students, especially to those that are now running this country when they were in school.

Please describe the scope of the threat that you believe we face? Do you think we face the loss of 40 million or so as Russia did under Stalin? Lower, maybe 12 million like the Nazis killed? A few hundred thousand? Given that -- unlike you believe us to be -- you are educated in World History and geography, what is the threat you believe we face?
