"After 9/11, we discovered that terrorists had easily infiltrated our society, using our communication systems to coordinate the plotting and execution of the attacks - and had done little overtly to indicate their hostility. In retrospect, we saw patterns of behavior and communication that many felt the government should have recognized as dangerous. We also realized that more terrorists may still be living among us, and demanded that the government root them out before they could attack again."

Okay. These mutts haven't hit us again, and for the love of mercy, Loons, it's because we were alerted, responded in kind, and have done whatever possible to track these scumdogs down. This is old news, and every Commander in Chief back to Washington would have done the same thing if the largest city in America was attacked.
