You over-reached on this one almost as bad as people comparing the person that took their parking space in the mall to Hitler.
The key to a good analogy is scope. Comparing a single specific event to an ongoing recurring issue rarely works well either.
Larger terrorist activities occur pretty often actually. They just don't reach the news because well, the media is more intrigued by North America. I admit, in 2012 we haven't had anything larger than 50 deaths (Thank god, however most remain unreported entirely). But in the past few years we have had some quite large ones. Honestly, I think if we leave out the word terrorism from it all, we can simply look at the anguish dealt in certain areas in the world, thanks to the USA. I see that as terrorism as much as 9/11, and for that reason we can say that there's ongoing terrorism right this moment, in which everyone is just looking but nobody does anything. However that's just my view on it all and we're taking this too far. I can continue for days when it comes to terrorism and such.
Anyway, this is besides the topic. Didn't I say in first place that my example was extreme? Guess I brought up a touchy subject. Let's just leave it at me saying that looking isn't enough as compared to actions. No time for a heated discussion and honestly don't want to either (I feel like I stepped on your toes a little, correct me if I'm wrong .____.).
Anyway, back to work.
