Forgive me if I'm not getting the point of your question. I researched and wrote the above piece over the last few days in reaction to the press conference of Prime Ministers Tony Blair and John Howard regarding last week's attempted bombings in London.

My fault for being ambiguous.
My point is that we haven't been oblivious to the dangers of Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11/2001. My point is that we haven't seen terrorist attacks as independent crimes since 9/11/2001. My point is that we aren't fooling ourselves that any action on our part caused any of these attacks. My point is that since 9/11/2001, we are carrying out operations in one long, sustained, worldwide campaign against jihadists. That was the point of my question. It contradicts the what you said which follows;
The enemy has been escalating the frequency and ferocity of his attacks over the past 35 years while we have been oblivious to the growing danger. For starters, we need to stop seeing terrorist attacks as independent crimes. We need to stop fooling ourselves that any action on our part caused any of these attacks. Rather, we need to see them as operations in one long, sustained, worldwide campaign by jihadists against the "infidel."
