Trust me, I wish this wasn't the case, but it is, whether you choose to see it. I am scared for my country because I know that this administration, that is essentially running on a terror platform, has actually made terrorism worse.

Actually, I was surprised to find out that worldwide acts of terrorism in 2003 were the lowest in 30 years.

2000- 423
2001- 346
2002- 199
2003- 198

Acts against American interests are down from a high of 228 in 2001 to 82 in 2003.

All in all, I'm astounded myself.

Acts of violence against combatants have never been included in the statistics. This includes Iraq. Acts targeting our troops have not been counted but acts targeting civilians have.

I can't explain it. I thought you might be right. But there it is.

For a start working on explanation one might look at some statistics and where the terrorist acts have taken place.

Right off they have Latin America with the larger numbers - looking at one graph one might consider that drop in numbers is not all that related to war on terrorism.

It appears that they might count each of the 911 planes as a separate terrorist attack?

Think I have to look that over more - and see if can find more on some things not covered on that page.

How you doing on your research, Craig? Even taking out the Columbian pipeline, it still looks like terrorism is down. Blows me away! _________________ "If he believes his 1971 indictment of his country and his fellow veterans was true, then he couldn't possibly be proud of his Vietnam service."
