On average you're 10 times more likely to take your own life than to have a terrorist take it!! And that's comparing an *average* year for suicide compared to the *worst year ever* for terrorism (at least in the US). And if you're going to argue that people at least have control over whether they commit suidcide, I would argue that they don't, not entirely. Anybody who would stop their own life is suffering from malicious brain chemistry over which they have no control. Nobody who has the ability to *not* commit suicide would ever stop their own existence. Eric Lucas

Reminds me of a bumper sticker when I was in grad school in Boston and used to go up into northern New England on road trips: "Welcome to Vermont. Now go home." Eric Lucas

Yes and no. I don't think there's a huge actual threat but we should be concerned about the alienation of young Muslims ( and how and why of course ). > Me personally, I think they are no different (if slightly more suicidal) > than the idiots who were IRA bombers in the seventies. Slightly less scary > though. The IRA made bigger bombs. Graham

Yes. The difference between little London streets and the metropolises contained in this country are vast. There would be double decker spill overs everywhere. Most places wouldn't support them at all due to the way our traffic light/power line systems are strung. He falls into the category of "Big Dope". |
