How Much is Enough?


The numbers listed below are taken from the State Departments list...showing significant terror incidents from 1961 to 2003. This is not a full, detailed and comprehensive list..it is brief overview. Yet the numbers are stunning:

Number of Significant Terror Incidents - 245

Number of Persons Killed - 7,250

Number of Persons Injured - 22,027

Number of Persons Kidnapped - 3,379

The word injured doesn't even begin to convey the extent of people's injuries. The word kidnapped is inadequate to describe the torture and what these people endured while being imprisoned by these monsters. These numbers are taken from "significant terror incidents". What about all the other "minor" terror incidents?

When do we say enough, no more, that's it...now you are going to pay the ultimate price? I say today is that day!
