It's crazy how we afraid of terrorism whereas it "only" causes a few deaths compared to other things such as car accidents or diseases.
The thing is, terrorism is a show where everything is made to make us fear it.
Terrorists are so weak that they cannot wage war. So they opt instead to produce a theatrical spectacle that will hopefully provoke the enemy and cause him to overreact. Terrorists stage a terrifying spectacle of violence that captures our imagination and turns it against us. By killing a handful of people the terrorists cause millions to fear for their lives. In order to calm these fears, governments react to the theatre of terror with a show of security, orchestrating immense displays of force.
