Let's put TERRORism into perspective...
The September 11, 2001 attacks in New York tragically claimed 2,967 lives. The resulting “war on terrorism” has dominated the world's agenda ever since.The War in Iraq and the resulting insurgency has claimed at least 30,000 civilian lives. Yet every day, yes, EVERY DAY! 30,000 children under five around the world die from poverty related causes! That’s 1 child every 3 seconds!

“Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural, it is man-made and can be overcome by the actions of mankind.” Nelson Mandela
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.” Former U.S. President, Dwight D. Eisenhower
