Why Hasn't America Been Attacked Again?
Charlotte Observer ^ | Feb. 14, 2004 | CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER

Nobody wants to raise this puzzling but important question.

The single most puzzling -- and arguably most important -- question of the day is the one no one raises in public: Why have we not been attacked again?

We are coming up on two and a half years since Sept. 11. Think back: On Sept. 11, everybody was waiting for the other shoe to drop -- within days or weeks, but surely within months. When nothing happened, it was said that al-Qaida works on 18-month cycles, with long planning and preparation.

I know he let it burn.
That's the point.
It would have been worse to let on to enigma.
It saved more lives in the war.
The liberal press now would have wanted a full investigation and alert the nazi's to enigma in order to get Churchill out of power.

He said if you harbor, or support terrorists, you are our enemies. Hussein harbored terrorists, supported terrorists,
payed terrorists to conduct Homocide Bombings, and he has paid the price. He faces trial and a very probable death sentence. His regime is toast!

I'd have to do more research.
From everything I've read it is true.
But again war is deception.
Read Sun T'Zu. It will illumine you.

Don't mean to imply you need illumination.
Sun t'zu helps see what is really going on.
And blunders made and good moves made also.

You sign on to a "war" that is bogus and that I don't think exists. Why not a way against Laziness? Terrorism will never go away. We can lesson it but to give the government carte blanche to wage a war forever agaisnt a Human sin like "terrorism" with no end in sight or goal? That ain't the conservtism of Yankees from Maine and New England I once read about.

I have nothing to offer you if protect me now but my love and loyalty in the future.

Bogus and you don't think exists. 3000 people dead, 09/11/01 and you think the war on terror is bogus and you do not think it exists. Are You In LALA land or what?

So you believe in the ostrich plan.
Stick your head in the sand and not even be grateful for others that are protecting your sorry behind.
Disgusting.
At least have the decency to be grateful for those putting their lives on the line to keep you safe.
Terrorists want you dead too. Or maybe you are one of them.
You should look up Jane Fonda and protest with her.
I'd be willing to bet you didn't say anything about clinton's illegal bombing of Kosovo.
