Ten,

re: why do you think there hasn't been another act of terrorism here in America? Is it because our domestic security is that much better, or our intellegence operations are more effective? I doubt it.

Good question. Along with that I think the better question is why we didn't have the terrorism that took place all over Europe in 70's-80's. It is hard to believe it's security, in those day the Europeans were really focused on preventing terror attacks, yet they happened almost every week in a Paris cafe or on a London subway. Those were the days when there was real terrorism, unlike these times when it is rare.

I don't know why terrorism, if you look at history, or the present for that matter, is so rare in this country. Maybe it's that our freedom and self-determination is so seductive to folks that immigrate, that they lose their hatred (???). That's got to be a pollyannish sentiment.
