Is this supposed to be "if it isn't death by a gun it doesn't count" as
a form of argumentation?  I'm at a complete loss here.

Are you unaware that dozen of Irish and English are killed each year
in the violence going in Ireland?

Last week some 16 or so Israeli's were killed in a terrorist bombing of
a bus.  Please name one such bombing of an American bus.  Last year
Heathrow airport was attacked by mortar fire on several occassions.  I
am not aware of any deaths, but please name one such mortar attack on
an American airport.  Other than the World Trade building bombing, I'm
not aware of any terrorist bombings in this country.  England, Spain,
Germany, Israel, etc. =all= have bombings on a regular basis.
