the suicide bomber in moscow the car bomb in iraq the shootings in tucson considering the recent spate of violent acts around the globe are we doing enough to prevent terrorism this week let's talk about that do you think that the world is doing enough to stop terrorism definitely no i think we could be keeping lines of communication open and i think we can be trying to consider other people's perspectives i think we can be thinking more about policy and less about rhetoric are you willing to do more for if it meant the world is going to be protected more like strip searched at airports if necessary am i willing to be censors. i think the machine i have is fine sees through clothes you're ok with that ok do you think the scanners are ok if it means we're safe yes your calls are coming off a nobody stacia do you think it's ever justifiable do you think anyone ever has a good enough reason to get that angry to do something like that no no i think
