any terrorism is UNACCEPTABLE in our country

I assume you refer only to terrorism not sponsored by some government agency, tarheel -- inducing terror by asserting that we are all under imminent threat of attack all the time everywhere does not qualify?

How about the creation of a subtle river of terror created by leading the country into a polarized, non-communicative posture against 60% of the rest of the world by posturing as a Crusader? That terror doesn't count in your tally?

How about the terror caused by simply trying to travel by air -- not the fear of flyimg, but of abuse in the airport?

I'd like to see fear of the government and its follies reduced to the nuisance level -- it would be a grand improvement!
