How long did britain go without a terrorist attack? Then they had two in as many weeks despite being arguably well prepared for them. There will always be cracks in our defense for terrorists to slip through. Such is the price we pay for living in a society where privacy and the ability to travel freely are priorities. We will never be safe from terrorism.
I don't feel safer. I don't feel safer because the war on terror has done absolutely nothing to limit any of the myriad ways by which i am more likely to die. The war on terror has done nothing to cut down on inattentive drivers or cancer rates or random street criminals.
I do feel like another attack within the u.s. is a matter of when, rather than if. As someone who lives within a 20 minute drive of the mall of america, that doesn't exactly make me feel safer. Not that it keeps me up at night.
