Kc is a fucking moron. Asking for his opinion on this topic is like asking a blind mute in a coma to sing at an opera.
Before the second invasion of Iraq ( remember there was one in the early 90's) terrorists clearly weren't motivated or emboldened! 911 was an inside job after all! So was the USS Cole, the embassy bombings in Africa, the first WTC attack, blowing up Pan Am flight 103 etc.
Kc has a point though. The United States was never a major target for any attacks of any kind until GW Bush took office. In fact, during the time he was in office we experienced a total of zero terrorist attacks after 911. Once GW left, the terrorists decided to tone it down because Obama was president. But the terrorists are using reverse psychology and are showing us some mercy. The Fort Hood Massacare was directed at military personell, therefore the argument can be made that when Al Queda radicalizes Americans, less civilians are killed as a result. Also, really stupid terrorists are being used. One couldn't blow up his underwear, another couldn't blow up an SUV in times square, etc. So really Al Queda is giving us latitude that never would have been extended under GW Bush. In less than two years we have had about half a dozen active terrorist attacks attempted on our shores. They were all foiled because GW Bush wasn't around to inflame tensions.
