Terrorism - Just a Bumper Sticker?

Democratic candidate John Edwards recently said that the global war on terrorism doesn't really exist and "its just a bumper sticker slogan" used by the Bush Administration to scare Americans.

OK lets see where we are in just the last two years:
Outside the US:
June 3, 2006 - Canadian police halted a "real and serious" terror threat in and around Toronto. Twelve men and five youths said to have been inspired by al Qaeda were arrested in the operation involving hundreds of officers.

Aug, 11, 2006 - Islamic Terrorists were in the "final stages" of a plot to simultaneously blow up as many as 10 jets leaving Britain for the U.S., sending the planes and thousands of passengers into the Atlantic Ocean. An undercover British agent infiltrated the group.

Inside the US:
June 2006, seven Muslim men were arrested in the early stages of a plot to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and destroy FBI offices and other buildings


July 2006 - Authorities broke up a plot to bomb underwater New York City train tunnels to flood lower Manhattan.

May 2007 - Six Muslim men were arrested in a plot to unleash a bloody rampage on Fort Dix in New Jersey.

June 2, 2007 - Three people were arrested and one other was being sought Saturday, June 2 in connection to a plot to blow up jet-fuel lines at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

So...John Edwards. What does it take to convince you? Some days I really do believe Liberalism is a mental disorder.
