>>That said, my question is, ‘why hasn’t there been a major attack’?
Radical Muslim groups do terror on the cheap - and our borders are almost nonexistent ... so, why haven’t we been hit?<<
I see it from a different angle than spetznaz does.
America is a much different country than the majority of others. There a whole bunch of self reliant men and women in this country who are armed with not only firearms but they have tools that could be used to defend our America. It wouldn’t take too much for them to decide that if the law enforcement types can’t protect our families then we will have to do it ourselves.
That’s when we would get to see the self resilience in action. A Cessna 206 could easily be used as a bomber to attack Moslem neighborhoods in our cities, prayer meetings, mosques, Moslem owned companies and businesses, CAIR headquarters and local community offices, the UN building. General aviation aircraft in America could comprise the world’s largest air force and Al Qaeda is well aware of that. That’s why they tried to get their own pilots into them.
I don’t think Al Qaeda wants to see us when were are scared for the safety of our families because that when the killing machine would be unleashed.
