Yeah but, notice how those incidents occurred outside of the United States. It was not until we started occupying the arab "holy land" and directly killing arabs during and after the Gulf War that the arabs decided to exact their revening within the U.S. I think we upped the ante by meddling in their affairs in 1990/1991 and now we are seeing the ongoing blowback from that decision. Terrorism is a real problem and it should be taken seriously. However, it is also quite an irrational fear. The cold hard facts are that you or any American is far far more likely, like 1,000,000 times more likely to die because of unsafe highways or streets in car accidents and random crime than by a very rare terrorist event. The fact is you are much more likely to be killed or injured by a fellow Ameican and not an arab terrorist, so why are people so paranoid about arab terrorism?
