Oh, wait.

"...there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985..."

Did you get that? Let me make it clearer:

there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985

Yup. George and his friends are making the world a safer place, all right.

Just to play devil's advocate (I don't personally believe the 'war on terror' is possible to win), a big reason why there will be more in 2005 is because a lot more things are being classified as 'terrorism' these days than simple car bombings.

War on Terror
War on French Fries

You gotta have a 'War on' something.

How else do you justify the big military budgets and money making Condition Orange, Yellow and Red badges? (don't think Green sells much).





There will always be terrorists because terrorism works. Also, there are always new ways of killing that come up and in order for counter-terrorism to be effective you have to first have the terrorist act.

So I pretty much expect the same for 2005, 6 and 7...

I would wonder about that, Kas. This information comes from a report that has been published by the National Counterterrorism Centre for 19 years. I would imagine (though I have no proof) that in the interest of fairness they would be consistent in what they deem a 'terrorist action'.

I wish they'd focus more on fighting some wars within our own borders...

how many little girls have been in the news for disappearing in the past week alone? In the passed two months there's been over six of them in the news that were later found dead...

Indeed, peace sells, but who's buying?
