Odds of Dying in a Terrorist Attack
The next time someone says we need to spend billions of dollars on fighting terrorism, or invade foreign countries that support terrorism, show them this list of the odds of dying in a terrorist attack.
If the point of fighting terrorism is to save lives, there are much better ways to spend the money. If the point of fighting terrorism is to help us not be scared, then stop fighting it. The very act of fighting terrorism validates its existence and the cause for which they fight.
There are better and more important things to fight.
