Reddit mentions of Atomic Obsession: Nuclear Alarmism from Hiroshima to Al-Qaeda

I never at any point denied the threat of terrorism. It is however, domestically, a threat that has been exacerbated and an obsession that has outrun the actual threat and allowed for the erosion of civil liberties, preemptive wars, and a ginormous military budget. I also don't think you understood my point - I am talking about the domestic sphere, where there is an exacerbation of a home grown terrorism threat - and this has been instrumentalized and exacerbated greatly. The external Islamic extremism threat is another concerning matter on its own -- which has seen a dramatic growth and empowerment since the beginnings of the US GWOT.

Check out Mullers, Atomic Obsession to see just the extreme extent of the discourse on the terrorism - by his interpretation of the nuclear terrorism threat.

Always good to get other perspectives on complex events - I do appreciate your opinion. You seemed slightly irritated with what I said, so apologises if I came across generic and reductionist. But my studies and analysis of the discourses have led me to these logical conclusions.
