Dear Mr. Harper

Letters to the Canadian Prime Minister

Sense of Insecurity

09 August 2006, 22:58 CST

Dear Mr. Harper,

Attached you will find an article on terrorism written by John Mueller of Ohio State University. Mr. Mueller states that when measured against everyday dangers, terrorism isn't as threatening as we perceive it to be.

A Quote:

"Even with the September 11 attacks included in the count, the number of Americans killed by international terrorism since the late 1960s (which is when the State Department began counting) is about the same as the number of Americans killed over the same period by lightning, accident-causing deer, or severe allergic reaction to peanuts."

Enjoy the read.

Kind Regards.
