I don't agree with every measure that is taken to prevent terrorism, but to just say we should allow terrorist attacks to happen is beyond foolish. If there were no preventative measures, the number of innocent lives lost to terrorist attacks would be massive. Based on your arguments so far, I'm guessing you're young and have no clue about the abject evil that exists in this world, and I'm wasting my time talking to you. I just can't even wrap my head around the thinking required to arrive at statements like that. |
Well the point of terrorism is to provoke a reaction - terror. So if we just ignored it I don't think it would happen. It wouldn't happen more than it currently does anyway - which is almost never (in the West). Unfortunately no government will try it out.
See, you're making it personal. "loved ones" etc. Emotion like that is worse than useless in a political debate.
