Thread Name: BS: Domestic Terroris Against US Women
Subject: RE: BS: Domestic Terroris Against US Women
As to anti-abortion terrorism not having anything to do with Afghanistan, that rather overlooks where the focus and resources of the US Justice Department, US intelligence agencies, and US law enforcement is currently at, isn't it?

I raised the issue of anti-abortion terrorism not being taken seriously in this country. No one here seems to be able to dispute that fact.

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks a number of people here felt they had clear ideas of how the US would declare a war on terrorism and then be able to win it. We have heard repeatedly from them that we should just believe in our government, and believe that the righteousness of our cause would win the day.

Yet, the continued presence of terrorism on US soil is the much greater threat to many more Americans than the threat of terrorism by foreign agents in our midst (and please, spare us the "tell that to the victims of 9/11" defense). Yet, people seem to be totally forgetting that threat to our national security. And more frighteningly, not demanding that law enforcement, the justice system, and the intelligence agencies do something about those terrorists living in our midst.

Why is that do you suppose?
