Some data people might find interesting, courtesy
BTC news: the number of terrorist attacks yearly for the last 10 years.
Yeah, the numbers are small, but legible if you squint.
An ironic sidenote: This graph does NOT include terrorist attacks within Iraq, although Bush claims iraq is the 'front line in the war on terror'. If those numbers were factored in, the average of roughly 4 car bombs a day would put those attack numbers up by around 2000 additional attacks, or about 7 times higher than the current high water mark on that graph. To my knowledge, it doesn't include Afghanistan either, so crank it up some more.
