16. Can't compare murders with accidents?
When you are dead, you are dead. How one dies is for fate to decide. How we prioritize our focus on dealing with these issues is for us to decide.

The War on Terror is a fraud.

Deaths-Leading Causes
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm

(Data are for U.S. for year indicated)

Number of deaths for leading causes of death (2004)

Heart disease: 654,092
Cancer: 550,270
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,147
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 123,884
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 108,694
Diabetes: 72,815
Alzheimer's disease: 65,829
Influenza/Pneumonia: 61,472
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 42,762
Septicemia: 33,464
Criminal Murders: 16,137

Terror deaths in the US, 2004: 0

Again, we have spent 5 years and a Trillion+ dollars fighting a problem that does not exist.

Until we address and refute the justifications of this administration's actions - terror, terror, terror, we risk losing everything that this country was founded on, 230 years ago.
