“May God have mercy on their souls . . . because we will not.”

-Sen. John McCain press release on Sept. 12, 2001 responding to terrorist attacks.-

Let’s also remember that in the months following 9/11, the expectation among all of us, expert and layman, was that this was just the beginning. Other attacks would come, more horrific and with different means. But they didn’t.
They did, on a smaller scale, in London, Madrid, the South Pacific and elsewhere. But not here, though there were attempts that were thwarted.
The U.S. cranked up our security and intelligence measures, in often wasteful and misguided ways, but suffered no more big and successfull attacks.
Who would have predicted this seven years ago? Not many.

EconProf: That is true, however, more than a handful of plots by Muslim extremists in the USA (that leaked out) were thwarted by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. 9/11 raised the public awareness that this kind of terrorism could occur in this country and also caused more people to report suspicious behavior. Some groups and individuals like to claim that their personal liberty is being taken away but I would rather endure the extra security than have my friends, family and country blown up by religious & political extremists.

Let us also never forget the unity of all Americans that day… and how it has since evaporated into thin air.
