im amazed when people use the fact that there havent been any attacks on the us in 5 yrs.when in fact erekose is right to say that when the trade centers were attacked before it took 8 yrs before they did it again,and we never gave up any freedoms we didnt allow gov. to tap our phones,we didnt take us citizens and " terrorist" to secret prisons,we didnt torture,we didnt even change article 3 what we did do is find the people responsible put them on trial,give them due process and then locked them up!(dont you just love the rule of law)

Are you seriously comparing the years between the first attack to now? It would be like comparing 1937 to 1944 and saying wasn't the threat level the same on both of those years..

It's a valid question is it not?

2001 (no attacks on the mainland since then).

1993 - 2001 (no attacks on the US mainland in the intervening years).

XXXX - 1993 (no identifiable attacks on the US mainland prior to 1993).

Discounting the obvious fallacy that there was/is no threat - how do you explain this?

Regardless - claiming that 5 years with no terrorism is somehow a victory when the continental US enjoyed 8 years without terrorism from 1993 would seem to be a little premature - especially when you consider what happened elsewhere not only in the ME , but in Spain, Bali and London.
