Seven Years of Peace and Plenty
No Terrorist Attacks In the United States! Why?
###
* On October 12, 2002, in Bali, Indonesia, Al-Qaeda’s Jemaah Islamiyah terrorists targeted packed nightspots, killing 202 people, including more than 160 foreigners.
There are even more nightclubs in the United States, why didn’t al-Qaeda target us here?
* On March 11, 2004 in Madrid, Spain, 191 people were killed and more than 1,800 injured in a series of explosions on four trains. al-Qaeda took responsibility for that accomplishment to avenge the presence of Spanish troops in Iraq.
But why didn’t the terrorists bomb American trains on American soil? We had even more troops in Iraq than did the Spanish.
* On the morning of Wednesday September 1, 2004, in Beslan, Russia Muslim terrorists and Arab mercenaries wearing explosive belts stormed a school taking 1,200 parents, students, children, and infants hostage. They wired the room with explosives and threatened to blow up the school during a three-day standoff. The children were refused food and water and were held in stifling heat in a gymnasium while the world waited.
As Russian forces were collecting corpses from the initial raid outside the school, the militants in the school triggered the explosives inside the school. As the surviving hostages attempted to flee, the terrorists shot them and their rescuers in their backs. At least 326 people — 156 of them children — were murdered at that school and more than 700 wounded. Although 26 of the terrorists were killed, several escaped.
Why did not these terrorists take over an American school on American soil? We have lots of schools here.
* On July 11, 2006, in Mumbai, India, seven high-powered blasts on suburban trains killed more than 200 commuters and injured at least 800.
America has commuter trains too, why did not al-Qaeda target American trains with bombs?
* On November 26 of this year, again in Mumbai, India, Islamist gunmen launched attacks against luxury hotels. Gunmen from al-Qaeda’s Deccan Mujahedeen group claimed responsibility for the attacks, which killed more than 100. A rabbi, Gavriel Hertzberg, and his pregnant wife were sought out and murdered as were other Jews and Americans. America has many luxury hotels, many Jews and many, many more Americans.
Why did al-Qaeda spare American hotels and tourist on American soil?
Could these “Seven Years of Calm in America” have had anything to do with the leadership of America’s Commander in Chief, George W. Bush, his administration and the fighting men and women of his military?

Thank you, STARWISE, for the ping. Sent mine just now.
Whew, thanks for the reminder. It was so difficult to type it through my tears but so necessary as he gears up for the onslaught from the critics who will blame everything that Obama and the dems cannot accomplish because of his administration. If I learned anything from this President I will try my utmost to do what he did best — turn the other cheek and ignore the ignorant.
Me too.
I sent mine just in time :)
