The libs don't have an answer for this one.

The most obvious answer would be that our military and our government have taken measures to protect us and those measures are working. Unfortunately this explanation would force the libs to say that Bush actually did something right, which would cause their heads to spin around like in the Exorcist.

The idea of a 4 year cycle being the cause is not supported by the facts. It's not like al Qaeda is the Dunkin' Donuts man..."Whoops, four years is up...time to blow something up."

In fact, as Tech posted, there have been multiple terrorist attacks throughout the world. Spain and England have both had major attacks on their soil during the "4 year cycle". Do you really think the terrorists would rather kill Spaniards than Americans??

Last point. If someone was on this BBS talking about two airplanes flying into the WTC and one into the Pentagon killing thousands, would that have been called hysterical pre-9/11?? Yes, it would.

The thought that talking about preventing further terror attacks is hysterical is the kind of thinking that left us so vulnerable to 9/11 in the first place. I say it again, it is not a matter of "if" we will get hit again, but "when".
