Terrorism in the U.S. Since 9/11
John Mueller and his students analyze the 33 cases of attempted [EDITED TO ADD: Islamic extremist] terrorism in the U.S. since 9/11. So few of them are actually real, and so many of them were created or otherwise facilitated by law enforcement.
The death toll of all these is fourteen: thirteen at Ft. Hood and one in Little Rock. I think it's fair to add to this the 2002 incident at Los Angeles Airport where a lone gunman killed two people at the El Al ticket counter, so that's sixteen deaths in the U.S. to terrorism in the past ten years.
Given the credible estimate that we've spent $1 trillion on anti-terrorism security (this does not include our many foreign wars), that's $62.5 billion per life [EDITED: lost]. Is there any other risk that we are even remotely as crazy about?" http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/20...in_th.html
Tab bouncing and posted this in wrong thread.
Meant to post it on the "More From DHS Insider...."
As far as this thread goes, defending interests and citizens abroad is much different than destabilizing, supporting insurgencies, and conducting bombing campaigns and regime change in other nations uninvited and with domination, malice and greed as motives.

kind of useful information.......i guess.
How Many Troops Does America Have in the Middle East in 2012?
With the recent withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, some citizens may have breathed a sigh of relief, and mistakenly believed that the USA was done with military adventures in the region. This would betray a lack of knowledge regarding the extent of American deployments and security commitments in the region.
To start, the American Navy keeps a minimum of one aircraft carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf, with another easily within combat range in the Mediterranean. There is often a third Air Group patrolling the Indian Ocean, mere days away, and when the carriers on station are relieved, Naval strength doubles up to four or even six carriers in the region. Overall, this represents well over 20,000 naval personnel within range of potential combat at any given time. The speed with which the American naval forces can be reinforced is illustrated by the recent buildup due to the Iran crisis. These carrier groups are often accompanied by offshore marine battlegroups. During the last buildup, over 15,000 marines, about a full combat division’s worth, were ready for instant deployment to any enemy coast.
