It is interesting how perceptions change across the pond. Remember the Oklahoma City bombing, the one that demolished the Federal Building? There was another try made at the Twin Towers before the successful attempt, and it wasn't a small explosion either. Then there have been the many other attempts that didn't succeed either due to incompetence and stupidity of the perps or the exceptional competence of law enforcement. Within the last two years a Islamic kid (born and raised in the USA in Dallas) tried to blow up a building in Dallas. Or Times Square in the last year?
I'm sure I can find a lot more examples if I look. Local events tend to be remembered by locals, but don't assume you know history somewhere else. The fact is the USA has some very good people on the job, or I could quote many more successful attempts.
