I think we're doing a lot of things right. We could be doing more.
However, there have been numerous attacks since 9/11 -- all over Iraq, for instance, the Spanish train bombing and others.
They just haven't been here.
It may be that al Qaeda simply hasn't had the wherewithall in terms of money, people, logistics and planning to attack IN the US since then. They don't have infinite resources.
Of course that doesn't mean the won't.
I worry about the "Cry of Wolf" syndrome, but it's a little like a TV weatherperson predicting a big blizzard. If it doesn't come, you look dumb -- if you don't predict it, and it does come, you look dumb. Tough decision.
