I'd say because we still live in fear and the result of 9/11.

Not to mention they've spent their time attacking other countries lately. Though I would assume they've planned something...

If Al Qaeda/Jihadists wanted to REALLY cause troubles here,it would stop going for the 'big splash' attacks that look good and simply start doing what works- blowing up innocent people in malls,stores,on the bus and at movie theaters.

Of course they might be afraid of the backlash...

Because most people are sheep living under the illusion that the same govt that denies them arms cares if they live or die. Like it or not you foster that mentality.

In theory I agree with you. The reality tho is the world aint as big as it used to be. If we become isolationist again someone else will control the mideast, we lose power & then real trouble starts. I think we should stop the current war yesterday but if someone acts up again we need to take the initiative. Or China will.

It's plenty big.

As I'v said before your just not dealing in reality.
Its not plenty big when anyone anywhere can get here in a few hours.

you're still not making sense. Melee attacks are much easier to defend against than ranged attacks.
