Because the american people have the attention span of a flea and the backbone of an ant. Because if a democrat had been in office and not bush we probably would have been attacked many more times and everyone would be crying for revenge. Apparently we need constant reminders that we actually have to fight people that want to kill us but when a president is successful at responding to an attack and ALSO successful at preventing many more everyone seems to forget that there are murderous people out there.
Unfortunately having the attention of a flea is too true for most americans. Backbone of an ant, being military personnel, I find it disturbing for you to include servicemen and women who have and continue to die for this country everyday.
There are heroic americans who are unheralded everyday, so you should fall back on that misconception.
Since the birth of this country, other countries and governments have been trying to murder us. That is nothing new.
Bush IS NOT successful at getting the people who attacked us on 9/11. I do believe he states that Bin laden is of no concern to him. Also, we will be in Iraq long after his presidency. American lives are being lost in these wars.
It took years between the first attempt on the towers and the second success to bring the towers down.
These people have patience if nothing else. Most analysts say it isn't a question of IF the terrorists will strike again, but when.
