either are suicide or automobile accidents yet we can count those as costs of living
the reality is that WMDs withstanding current terrorist capabilities pose little threat to our person or our societies
The question is not binary i.e. ignore them all / kill them all
rather a question of shades in between and learning to accept a certain amount as exactly that a cost of doing business
does that mean we do not go after those who commit any acts? or try to prevent any terrorist act?
no
it means we recognize a certain amount of acceptible loses plan both our security and responses around that
That way we could stop all this inane psuedo security give me back my damn shoes, lighter and bourbon
ack, I gotta run put a child in bed [I'm watching a friends kids tonight] but I'm about halfway through a post describing what this post means to me in terms of how we should address terrorism
I'd love to hear your thoughts on it tomorrow when I post it.
