I keep hearing that there have been NO terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11. That's NOT true. A fellow shot up a synagogue and killed a couple people. More recently a fellow ran down 14 people and killed a couple. Both these people were Muslims. The guy that ran people down actually said, "I'm a terrorist" as they drug him out of the car. The only reason that these people weren't reported as "terrorists" is because they didn't kill enough people and they worked alone. If one of these guys had loaded up a truck with ammonium nitrate and brought a major building down they would CERTAINLY be listed as terrorists, even if they did it by themselves. Four young guys in Britain learn how to make bombs and blow themselves up and THEY are terrorists, so what's the difference? The POINT is, we have had "terrorist" attacks on our soil, but they were small and we don't like to use the T word if we don't have to. We are GOING to see more homegrown attacks in the U.S. and one of these days one of those attacks will be BIG enough to be recognized, even if we would like to ignore them as we have done the last two.
