Before or after September 11th not a day goes by without an American (and heck others) Embassy etc being threatened somewhere in the world. Based on intelligence they must and can only respond as they judge appropriately to each one. I think saying they are 'ignored' is foolish. It is not as if someone listens to the threat, laughs and puts down the phone then wanders off to make a coffee.
Further, both in Clinton's administration and the current one there have also been attempts made - e.g. to blow up major bridges in the US (I forget which one) which have been foiled and therefore unsuccessful. These are for security reasons not publicised or widely publicised. This paragraph based on comments of ex-President Bill Clinton during an interview.

After the first attack on the Twin Towers in 1993, the FBI foiled an attack on the bridges and tunnels in New York City.
