Is a target of what?
Back in 2001 a little over 3,000 people died in the US because of one particular situation. Since then our government has done very little to protect people in similar situations, no color-coded threat levels have been established. No funds have been allocated to try to mitigate the risk of further deaths.
These Americans were targets and about the same amount of Americans have died for the same reasons every year since 2001, but nothing is being done to remove that ivory tower mentality, we just let them die, year after year.
What did they die of? Malnutrition. The richest country in the world willfully lets more people die every year than the number of casualities in the 9/11/2001 incidents. Have we lost the perspecive of things, or what?
