The US hasn't been attacked since 9/11. |

| An easy math problem: between the first WTC attack and the second, how many years of planning were there? |

exactly.
So the USA hasn't been attacked since 9/11. that doesn't mean jack. give it another 6 years, then you can use that argument. |

"So far so good."
Nothing wrong with that saying being used here. |

Gwangjuboy,
I agree with what the other guys said, but that wasn't what I was trying to express in my post.
I was trying to say that since 9/11 involved airplanes, the government has focused on making airplane hijacking more difficult. We now have to stow our lighters and fingernail clippers in suitcases instead of our pockets. But why think that the next attack will be by hijacked airplane?
The borders are still open, the ports are still unsecured. IMO, that is the area of security that needs to be addressed. There is no reason to think that terrorists will simply repeat the method of the last attack. |

Certainly, but it's not the same thing as saying that Bush and co have made the US safer because there have been no attacks against the US since 9/11, which is what I took your statement to mean.
If I were a terrorist I might say something like
"Why would I go all the way to the US when it's so much easier these days for me to kill Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan?"
Sad and offensive perhaps, but true nevertheless. |
