Even taking the highest terrorist casualties, which occurred
in 1995, when over 6,000 people died worldwide, this figure
is a fraction of the 50,000 to 100,000 people who die every
year from snake bites, never mind the 10 million children who
perish from preventable causes, such as malnutrition and
malaria. So why are we so scared? The answer must be sought
in the mythology that politicians constructed to legitimize the
market-state.
