Much of what you have said makes sense though. Certainly I don't live in any more fear now than ever before. That said, I think it can be dangerous to become completely pacifist in such a potentially hostile world. Certainly violence has achieved a lot of honorable things in the past, and it may yet into the future. In this particular circumstance I don't think the 'War on Terrorism' will achieve anything useful in the near future, other than weakening moderate Arabs in the region. But do I think, for example, one bullet in the head of Mugabe and a bit of a plan could of saved alot of trouble for Zimbabwe? Certainly.
