    Early 30s.

    The idea that I’d have to specifically mention not being American seems funny, but in context, fair enough I guess

      It’s totally a perspective thing. Being a full on adult (well as much as an early 20 year old can be. Lol) it seems like a no brainer that they would make this comparison based on how much the fear was at that time that Islamic terrorists were all over the country ready to kill people at random. I can easily see why someone younger from another country might not be as aware of that

      However, even at that time, I believe, right wing terrorists still had killed more over a period of something like 20 years, even with the 3k from 9/11.
