Agree.

[TomGuy]

I sometimes wonder if the Bush admin (and/or other powers that be) made a mistake in return the nation to normalcy so quickly.

Yes.

We got the 'go about your business, but be aware, be vigilant (but not vigilant like those vigilante Minutemen who actually want to do something), go the mall, shop til you drop.'

[Buffettfan]

I hate to say it but we have not learned our lesson yet. Five years after 911 and the borders are still wide open for anybody to come in here and kill us and destroy our cities. It will take another 911 before US citizens demand that the politically correct governing elite either close and protect our borders or get tarred and feathered in the streets.

Think you missed my point.

My point is that American's have not done a very good job giving the President the capital he needs to help us win this war.

If you don't think that conservatives are at all culpable in his falling support, you haven't been paying very much attention. I used to think that we all ignored the press. But we have been doing an awfully good job of tearing down what we've spent a lot of years building up lately.

[pollyannaish]

The sad thing is a lot of people here on FR will blame Bush for the next terrorist attack.

Exactly correct. With nary a clue of why they would be culpable themselves. There are a lot of ways to lose one's nerve.

[TomGuy]

Singularly, unless an attack is overtly obvious as terrorism, the sheeple will be told it was an accident, a lone perp, two white guys in a white van, nothing to see--move along.

[Rembrandt_fan]

You wrote, "If only there was some common element between all these terror groups..."

At least one member of each group is named 'Mohammed'. Not that I'm into profiling or anything...

[CindyDawg]

I don't think it has anything to do with luck.

[cripplecreek]

Remember, if you don't shop, the terrorists win.

[dodger]

Can't disagree but the Islamofascists, just like the earlier German type, launched the war too early. The more attacks here & there, the more people may really wise up. Here's hoping, anyway.

[Kenny Bunkport]

I hope the liberals feel as stupid as they appear for whining about the NSA's surveillance of emails and phone logs

They skewer Bush for "not connecting the dots" before 9/11; they skewer Bush for connecting the dots after 9/11.

[mtbopfuyn]

I remember during the Cuban Missile Crisis, we would NEVER let the gas tank get lower than half in case we had to get out of town. Being a little tike, I don't know if many had much plans beyond that or if they even thought about foodstuffs or other survival. However, many built bomb shelters that probably wouldn't have sustained much of anything, but then we all knew that crouching under our school desks would be the saving of America.

[Kenny Bunkport]

They still haven't caught that anthrax guy.

[pollyannaish]

I hope the liberals feel as stupid as they appear for whining about the NSA's surveillance of emails and phone logs of suspected terrorists....as evidenced by the Atlanta perp.

Are you kidding? First, liberals are smarter than everyone else, so they can "connect the dots" without any kind of surveillance whatsoever, just like in the Clinton years. Second these guys aren't terrorists, just misunderstood minorities in need of protection from the big bad Bush man. Someone call the ACLU quick, their rights might be violated!

_{This line has been added for clarity as a courtesy to the sarcastically impaired. ; ).}

[B.O. Plenty]

You shouldn't be surprised and another attack...islm has promised it. I wish it waren't so too, but unfortunately for us, our leaders are so infested with PC that they are paralyzed.

The only thing that we can do for the present is wait for the attacks that we know will come. I agree that they will not be a monsterous attack like 911, but will be car bombs at shopping malls and sports events, ied's along side the roads...wherever people congregate....maybe in Christian Churches, perhaps??

If I was a lunatic muslm terrorist, I would start tomorrow.....666. I am not going out anywhere tomorrow. I am not superstious, but just in case there are crazy terrorists out there wanting to kill someone, I think I'll stay out of his way.

[mylife]

Frankly, I dont think we will see an end to terrorist attacks until we have won the war, and that may take 50 years in my opinion.

democracy isnt going to flourish in the middle east for a longtime.

Im not even sure that islam is compatible with freedom or secularism, but we have to try to bring some kind of stability to the ME.

The only alternatives are to allow them to wage red war on us or for us to wage red war on them

[AustinBill]

The big difference is that WW II was the last time Congress exercised its exclusive constitutional power to declare war. I continue to believe that one of President Bush's biggest mistakes in the aftermath of 9/11 was not demanding that Congress make a formal war declaration. He could have gotten it in the week after the attack and once made there could be no doubt on anyone's part that we really were at war.

[Trampled by Lambs]

"Unfortunately, it will take another attack to remind folks of what we are up against.."

I used to think so. But now I think that if we are hit again, the left will just say that it wouldn't have happened if we hadn't invaded Iraq and so on. All Bush's fault still and forever.

[SauronOfMordor]

In short, Osama bin Laden didn't pay for these plots, recruit for them or even know of them. They were all totally homegrown — even amateurish. But if four, including the one in Canada, have been uncovered in just 11 months, officials fear there are inevitably other plots that have not been and are maturing even now.

I think the "DC snipers" (Mohammod and Malvo) are an example of this
