Terrorism has always been with us in some form and will continue as long as we exist. The scary part will be when or if Iran gets the bomb. Hope it doesnt happen

Hi Gershon I agree, terrorism left unchecked is a losing bet.

Terror used to shock people, not anymore, it's so common these days. Its like whacking a mole and destroying it but then another pops up. The world is an evil place right now. Tom
