“Except that they’re busy in Afghanistan and fomenting revolution in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Pakistan, Thailand, Burma, and Indonesia”
I’m sure they had time to come here too if they wanted to. They certainly could have gotten in the country. Heck they could have just flown in on a travel visa and then overstayed like everyone else. Visa’s in SA are on demand. I always think its a miracle we haven’t had more terrorism here but after a lot of thought and observation I just think they aren’t trying that hard.
“I just think they aren’t trying that hard.”
They don’t have to try very hard; just ask the people of Boston.
It’s only an opinion, of course, but I have to think they’re out in the Moslem world (and that’s a big world) fighting in what have become countless revolutions and military actions, rather than here.
And I’d be willing to bet they’re looking to make more of a statement than filling a pressure cooker with nails, too.
In a world dominated by strife and countless military actions, it’s only a matter of when, not if, they get around to bringing some significant weaponry here to the US, particularly if there are no external battles being fought that require the hardware.
