[Premise Checker]

Howard,

Exactly what does this grave danger consist of? This is a very serious 
question. Is it the way our paleolithic brains react to terrorist attacks? 
Is it the prospect of politicians stripping us of our liberties?

Did you know that more Israelis have died in car accidents than by 
terrorists in every single year since 1948? I won't say forever, since the 
Bible records terrorism during a period in which there were no cars.

I am not sure the war on terrorism is worth the cost.

Just Checking Premises, as usual.
