Who in This Forum is Afraid of the Al-Qaeda Boogiemen Killing Us Here?

Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than harmed by a terrorist.
 
I am very afraid of the terrorist! And the more we provoke them the stronger they get! That is why i support non-intervention.
 
Im more afraid of my government then I am any terrorists or other country.
 
I'm not scared of any camel jockey. I'm surrounded by the types all day, ever day... scrawny little things I could break with one hand.
 
I am more afraid of a multi nation force attacking US because we keep screwing around in everyone elses countries.
It is kind of like the school yard bully...one day he'll pick on the wrong person and get his ass handed to him...only this is a MUCH larger scale.
Then we will see NO personal liberties at all.

There's no reason to fear them. They don't have an army at all, they don't have an air force at all, and they don't have a navy at all. For Christ's sake in the 1940s Japan had a hell of a navy and Germany had a hell of an army but they didn't step foot on US soil!

Awesome...awesome point. I dont understand what people dont get by this point. We are suppose to fear roughly 1k men but all they do is blow things up or themselves. I know its a little more sophisticated than that, but that is about it.

Alast as someone made a really good point earlier: the only person I fear is G-D. granted the devil is a pesky little, well, devil and tries to convice me otherwise, but the only fear I have consistantly is G-D.

The capability of Al-Qaeda Boogiemen actually inflicting massive harm to our country again is quite remote. A comprehensive congressional and intelligence agency study should be conducted in order to determine the actual combat capabilities of Al-Qaeda.

1) What is their actual combat readiness to mount an attack against us on our side of the planet?

2) What is the size of their army and where are their bases located. Satellite images of their bases should not be difficult to produce.

3) What would be their mode of transport to move their armies to our side of the planet?
a) What is the size and location of their Air force?
b) What is the size and location of their Navy?
c) What missile systems do they control that need to be neutralized.

4) Through what gates of entry into our country would they enter.
a) Hijacked airplanes? What is the probability of this occurrence.
b) Open borders? Ports of entry? What level of head count would make them easily detected? 10, 100, 1000?

5) What level of damage could they actually accomplish given the billions we are currently spending on homeland security.

6) Is the Iraq War justified given the anemic amount of damage the AL-Qaeda could actually do to us currently on our side of the planet?


These and many other questions should be answered in order to justify "killing them there so they don't kill us here", and spending hundreds of billions of dollars doing it.

I have a better chance of hitting the mega-powerball lottery or being struck by lighting than I do of being killed by an Al-Qaeda Boogieman on my side of the planet. This is why i don't live in fear of them.

We spend hundreds of billions on the war on terror with thousands of American lives lost and wounded, you'd think we could spend a couple of million to assess the true nature of the Al-Qaeda threat and ask the question; Is the price justified?

The question should be,are they doing anything that we wouldn't do? Couple nuts getting together to hi jack a plane. Something to think about.When one becomes pissed off they will do anything to take out as many as they can. What did happen to Charles Manson? They put him in prison. How many followers did he have? I think we should look at the suicide attacks as just that. A cult.A isolated situation. Now who is actually doing the bombing now? We take out a country because of a cult.This is world domination excuse.Nothing more nothing less. We control the oil we control the world. Without fuel now battles can be fought. Now think people how true this is.Without fuel,what army can move?
 
The people are not afraid of a full scale attack against the US courtesy of Al-Qaeda, but another 9/11 happening. I'm afraid of that happening, too.

Gosh, I have lost at least two seconds of sleep over concern that Al-Queda will get me. :D

But I have worried many, many hours and hours over my government getting me.:mad:

I fully support us withdrawing from the World to establish our own home defense, but this is the part that I think Ron Paul may possibly be wrong on. The Muslims idea of just war theory is if an infidel steps too close to certain Mosques, then his country ought be burned to the ground. I'm not entirely sure if modern Muslims will do this, however.

If that happens however, we'd win the war provided that the Europeans start to reproduce instead of drink beer and wine and live life just for the sake of the next party.
 
The main scare tactic seems that seems to be tossed around is just one of them slipping in here with somekind bio-weapon or nuke.
 
A Texas rancher stepping into his backyard got more worries from ornery critters and microscopic threats than e does from Al Ciada and Old Sammy Bin Laddy..
