Why haven't there been more terrorist attacks lately?

I was referring to Spinster's post, dumbass. It's good to see that quadruple x elevated his imagined attacks to "racial bashing".

Back to the topic, I think that we haven't seen as much terrorism as we were made to expect because 11.09.01 was meant to be a large assault in a vacuum, not the first strike in a planned-out string of events. It was expected to usher in a change after which others would be inspired to take smaller-scale strikes, kind of like how white suburbanites started mailing anthrax to each other. The individual was expected to take over for Al Qaeda, which knew that it would be taking huge risks to continue in organized movements. The problem with that thinking was that individual discontentment generally doesn't strike out without a more consolidated catalyst. That is, while would-be terrorists may have smiled at the fall of the WTC, they're luckily too chickenshit or lazy to imitate it. Count your blessings.
