Perhaps we are marginally safer or perhaps the al Queda types are very patient. Dont forget there were seven years between the World Trade Center attacks.
If we are safer, it is certainly not because of our invasion of Iraq. As the NIA report from earlier this year noted, our presence in Iraq has created more terrorists.
Our own intelligence imay be slighltly better (with a long way to go). But more importantly, other nations have stepped up their intelligence and their coordination with the US as a result of 9/11, particularly in Europe and among our Muslim "allies" (Saudia Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, etc).
