Yes, please relax. The chances of being involved in a terrorist attack are very small. The chances of being murdered are very small. The chances of being in a car accident are quite high.

By their very nature, terrorists aren't recognisable - your next door neighbour could be a terrorist and you wouldn't know. Outwardly, they live perfectly normal lives, don't wear uniforms and don't have a sign round their neck saying "terrorist". If you worried about it, you'd be suspicious of absolutely everyone, and that would make for a very miserable life.

I laugh each time I hear George Bush talk abut the "war on terror" and "defeating terrorism" - can't be done. If it was that easy, we wouldn't have had so many years (nearly 200) of terrorism from the IRA, there'd have been no 9/11, Israel would be totally safe and so on.
