Lewl you're off your nut! If you haven't noticed it's you that devolved to generalisations. Spouting off a list of terrorism acts stretching over 20-30 years may work to scare the shit out of the average American but here are some cold hard FACTS for you to digest.
As many Americans have been killed by lightning, accident-causing deer and allergic reactions to peanuts as terrorism:

The following ratios were compiled using data from 2004 National Safety Council (NSC) Estimates, a report based on data from The National Center for Health Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 2003 mortality data from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) was used.
You are 13 times more likely to die in a railway accident than from a terrorist attack
You are 12,571 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack
You are six times more likely to die from hot weather than from a terrorist attack (LOL)
You are eight times more likely to die from accidental electrocution than from a terrorist attack
You are 11,000 times more likely to die in an airplane accident than from a terrorist plot involving an airplane
You are 87 times more likely to drown than die in a terrorist attack
You are 404 times more likely to die in a fall than from a terrorist attack
You are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
You are 1048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack
You are 12 times more likely to die from accidental suffocation in bed than from a terrorist attack
You are nine times more likely to choke to death on your own vomit than die in a terrorist attack
You are eight times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist

And as one website put it you're more likely to die from your appendix popping than a terrorist attack. Face it, its not worth worrying about.
"We went thousands of miles east to go protect the Western Culture."
Protect from who? Saddam? You sure? I would more likely to put it down to the USA ensuring it maintains it position as the sole super power. Since when was Iraq a threat?! They're barely had enough food.
Were you building schools and hospitals before you destroyed them all? And then awarded contracts to to rebuild them to Halliburton et al? Give me a break. You're no saviours.
"we might capture them but they stand a good chance to be released because they are going to stand more of a civilian trail than a military tribunal."
I bloody well hope so. We're not terrorists remember?
