Something to be thankful forFollow

One big question on everyone’s mind was what, if anything, was the government doing to protect the population. “In the United States there has not been a single new terrorist act since September 11,” says Rhyzhkov. “That tells you our security service is completely ineffective in their fight against terror.” The security services, in turn, put the blame back on the government. “We earn the same money as regular policemen,” a Russian counterterrorism official told NEWSWEEK, adding that he’s forced to spend his own money on basic necessities like notebooks and portable computers. “Until we begin to adequately finance the fight against terrorism, nothing will change.”

One has to onder whether its due to our anti- terrorism policy or more due to the fact that we are separated by an ocean that these things don't happen over here. Regardless, I'm thankful that we haven't been attacked since 9-11. My heart just dropped when I heard that those animals started killing children.

Its due to the fact that we have many tens of thousands of targets available in easily accessible Iraq.

This is WAY to easy to explain ... so your a terrorist and have the choice of blowin up 10 marines in your backyard or 10 civilains 2k miles away and for either one you will get 70 some odd virgins in your next life do you A) take a plane to go get some so you can get some and waste 10-20 hours you could be gettin laid or B) strap one on walk out your front door and start gettin some immeadiatly... that one takes some serious thought.
