Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
The same reason that there wasn't a "9/11" before 9/11. Anti-american terrorists certainly existed long before that, didn't the same group try to hit the WTC and FAIL, a long time before 9/11?
I think difference between the terrorist threat and the capability of the US to protect/monitor/defend against terror attacks on our land is much greater than the general fear and hysteria makes it to be... In poker terms "they hit a two outer on the river" and we even had enough intel availible to stop it, but the process got mucked up. Also now the funding available for terrorists has been targeted on a worldwide basis, so that has a crippling effect on their ability to create terror. |

Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
Well the onus has to be on the spender to show that the project was justified, that WE gained more than it cost.
The project was sold to protect us from the many known WMDs in Iraq, from the notion that Saddam and OBL were shacked up planning the demise of America, from the uses that yellow cake from Niger was going to be used to blow up Chicago. All these were unfounded. They were known to be unfounded by everyone (including many posters on this forum and including, IMO, the administration) yet the money was spent. To take the one point you offer: [ QUOTE ] I will show you people voting in free elections as proof it's not being wasted, can you counter that in any sane way? [/ QUOTE ] This has no value to the American taxpayer. At least no value that has been clearly and convincingly explained. |

Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
Before I read all of the other responses, there were what, 8 years in between the two attacks on the WTC? I don't think that anyone should be surprised if there will be at least another 8 years before the next major terrorist attack in America.

It's only been 3 years. Also, I'd bet the next attack will be VERY different. I doubt the terrorists will use planes. Bombs probably, airplanes no. |

Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
I voted other. How long was it between the Twin tower attacks - 8 years. It has only been 4 years since 9/11/2001. It takes a long time to plan a major attack. I support most of the administrations fight on terror but support very little else of the Bush agenda. I think we should establish permanent bases in Iraq and withdraw our troops out of harms way. Continue training the Iragis to defend themselves. I just don't think we should have had our troops patrolling the streets and getting picked of by snipers and IED's for the last year.

Re: Why has there been no repeat of 9/11?
Answer: because Bush is doing a good job.
Can you imagine the additional 9/11's that would have occurred if a softer president was in power? Gosh, i shudder to think about it. |
