Here's my (American) equivalent to your post: http://thepete.com/10-points/ To me it's not even about flipping the bird to terrorists, it's about flipping the bird to fear. Odds are most of us will live to ripe old ages. The odds are overwhelmingly against any of us being blown up in a terrorist bombing. I'd rather we stop cancer or AIDS, or develop a safer way to get around. Should we stop trying to stop terrorists? Of course, not--but we shouldn't live in fear, either. Good post, man! Well done.

Good post, man! Well done.
