>>>Why not grab some Americans?
To not awaken the sleeping tiger. That is why no new major attacks here, ala WTC. We are doing a great job of eroding political will all on our own, so they won’t hit us with big attack to raise the ire again.

What did they think was going to be the result of 911?
If what you say is true, they're walking a fine line. Islamofascists have been very vocal about vowing to wipe us from the planet. If they don't strike, they look not only WEAK but like 911 was a SUCKER PUNCH on an unprepared sleeping giant. The world view may be they're unable to strike when our back is UP and we're lookin' 'em dead in the eye. Which maybe is a fact!
