Exactly.
And 25,000 die a day due to contaminated water. 20 million children are mentally impaired because of malnutrition each year. We're losing an area of farmland the size of Scotland every year to erosion and urban sprawl. Global warming is a trend that we can no longer ignore.
Terrorism is a nice way of distracting us from the much bigger and more important problems. What's a few thousand when we're doing our best to wipe hundreds of millions off the earth in the next hundred years?
