I mean when the USS Cole was Bombed and 17 Sailors died, did president Clinton go after the attackers (which were linked to al-Qaida)? No, he didn't. Then just a little under a year after that the World Trade Centers fell, here is a timeline:

Oct 12, 2000---Sep 11, 2001---Oct 7,2001
USS COLE-----WTC Attacks-----Bush attacks

After that NOTHING, so based on analysis of past events and information I can be safe in my assesment that the war will not come to the home-front. (that and it is also 2005 and since 2001 there haven't been any attacks kinda give me ground to stand on)
I find it amusing how people think that since there hasn't been an attack inside the U.S., Bush has been successful. What makes you think they've planned anything in that time? What happens when it DOES happen again? Does the excuse then become, "Well, it was X number of years of prevented attacks...something was bound to get through, 'cause the government isn't going to be able to get *everything*."?
