Your logic is way off here
Are you saying the reason we weren't attacked but other countries were is because the US sacrificed so much more than the other members of the "coalition" by fighting "terrorists" in Iraq???

We weren't attacked for two reasons, neither having anything to do with Iraq-the ocean and improved intelligence.

Homeland security is still greatly lacking- mostly due to wasted lives and resources in Iraq. Imagine 150,000 troops safely at home using a small fraction of the non-existent money wasted serving as sentries and training others to be vigilant.

NY has been attacked twice while no other city in the country has been attacked ... does that mean that New York governor, senators, mayor etc. are spectacularly bad at defending against attacks and the rest of the country is extremely good at it?

If that is the case we would be best off kicking NY out of the union.
