We're not threatened much by terrorism. Seriously. Our nations can stand more bombs than Al Qaida can make. They WILL need a land invasion to beat us. The best they can do, is whack of a few thousands of us. A drop in the ocean compared to the people dying of aids and starvation.

We can safely ignore it, and it wont affect us much. The pre-9/11 security was more than enough, we should spend the money on saving lives in africa instead, that'll give a lot more bang for our buck.
Throughout history, everytime somebody has advocated ignorning a known threat with the assertion that given time, it will diminish of its own accord, its been a disaster for mankind. Ask ole Neville Chamberlain how well that approach worked for him.
