Dude, where's my country? Book

In 2001, your chance as an American of dying in an act of terrorism in US was 1 in 100,000.
In 2001, you had a greater chance of dying from the flu or pneumonia (1 in 4,500), from taking your own life (1 in 9,200), being a homicide victim (1 in 14,000), or riding a car (1 in 6,500).

But no one freaked out over the possibility of being killed every time you drove in your dangerous car to buy a heart disease inducing doughnut from a coughing teenager. The suicide rate alone means that you were a greater danger to yourself than any terrorist.

All these causes of death were far greater than the terrorism, but there were no laws passed, no countries bombed, no emergency expenditures of billions of dollars per month, no non-stop tickers scrolling details across the bottom of CNN to send us in a panic over them.

Then why bombing countries and fighting terrorism take precedence over all other issues?

Michael Moore has tried to explain this and many other questions on US foreign policy, the integrity of its presidents and related issues wittily in this book.

A very fast, entertaining and insightful read.
