More silliness from US News & World Report, this time from the editor-in-chief.

To acknowledge our vulnerability is not to be fatalistic or defeatist. It is simply to recognize the magnitude of the challenge. Europe and other parts of the world will not feel the same way as we do, for we are the No. 1 country and thus the No. 1 target. For most of them, terrorism is nothing more than a TV drama. When Bush said, "Either you are with us or against us," many Europeans replied, "We don't accept either option."

Terrorism is nothing more than a TV drama to most Europeans? Right. There's never been any attacks by, oh, I dunno, the ETA, the IRA, LVF, Armata Corsa, FLNC, Red Army Faction, etc., etc., and also, etc. Zuckerman's statement is only the most ludicrous one in an article that veers from the questionable to the laughable. We may be the #1 target for certain terrorist groups, but I doubt Basque Seperatists are really coming after us too much.

A lot of Europeans oppose war in Iraq, some for very good reasons, some for crap reasons. But a lack of exposure to terrorism sure as hell isn't one of them.
