NO SON POCOS los que critican la cantidad de recursos dedicados a la lucha antiterrorista diciendo que al fin y al cabo mueren tantas personas por atentados como mueren en actividades cotidianas, por ejemplo accidentes en el baño. Una comparación absurda, como bien señala Jeffrey Goldberg:

 

But Mueller's thesis fails to recognize is that a bathtub death is in most ways not equivalent in impact to a death caused by terrorists. The death of someone in a bathtub accident is obviously a terrible tragedy for that person's family and friends. But unlike a death caused by terrorism, a bathtub death has few, if any, political, economic, foreign policy, societal and constitutional ramifications. In other words, a spate of bathtub deaths might cause state and federal governments to seek stronger regulation of bathtub manufacturers, and the bathtub industry might be forced to design safety features whose cost might be passed on to the consumer. But that's about it. 

Leed el resto.
