How do we know that they are trying?
Millions of Mexicans somewhat cross our border, but dedicated jihadists can't?
A Korean student can paralyze a nation with his evil, but jihadists can't?
Iraq should tell us that the Bush admin is incompetent. It's probably not wise to give the govt. credit for stopping all attacks for occurring.
Could it actually be the case, that they want us to get the freak out of the Middle East? Out of Saudi Arabia (the reason Al Qaeda started in the first place), out of Iraq, etc.?
Maybe there aren't as many people that want to kill us as we think. Just maybe.
