So it turns out that there were more acts of terrorism worldwide in 2004 then any other year since the State Dept started publishing it annual report on terrorism in 1985. But seeing as that doesn't fit in with the GOP's worldview that the war in Iraq made the world safer from terrorism, they decided to stop publishing the report. 2003 had seen 175. There were 625 "significant" act of terrorism in 2004. 625! Does anybody feel safer knowing that the administrations reaction to the number more then tripling is to stop telling us how many attacks there were?
Could somebody tell me what the Republican have done to make us safer? Color coded charts that confuse us? Dire warning of the need to stock up on duct tape and plastic? A war in Iraq that yielded no WMD's and has led to the kidnapping of a Hoosier? Pulling resources out of Afghanistan to go to Iraq, and failing to finish off Al Qaeda and the Taliban? Failing to face the threat of North Korea in a more resolute manner?
