How Many terrorist Attacks on American occurred since 1993?

I couldn't agree more.  Assuming you have time-lined the Cole the WTC bombing in 2/26/93 the embassies etc.\n\nThat fact is crime is out of control in this country.  The Midwest is experiencing a massive surge in violent crime (St Louis MO named most violent city).  How much safer would we REALLY be had we used a portion of the $330 Billion on domestic law enforcement?\n\nThe GOP is selling us an illusion of security in the meantime we are rotting from within.

You are correct.  No attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11. \n\nthe libs are already trying to distort your comment.

Has there been?  I think we saw more terrorism in the 80's and 90's then we've seen recently.  Other than 9/11 of course.  Also I think a large part of the perception is what we're calling terrorism.  Firebombing civillian population centers wa standard allied play book in WWII.  Today we'd call targeting civillian populations terrorism.\n\nHiroshima and Nagasaki weren't exactly military targets.\n\nAn even more  unpopular answer to this is the concentration of power, particularly military power.  Both in the U.S. and other countries.\n\nAnswer this question.. What do you do when you believe your country should go to war because of some idea, principal, or even idocy, but the country you want to war against would destroy your army in 3 seconds flat?  How do you wage war against an unbeatable army?\n\nThere are two basic responses to this kind of problem.  Non violent resistance, and guerilla warfare (Terrorism).  Non violent resistance hasn't worked all that well recently because sadly people in power have learned that if you slaughter all the people resisting you non violently the resistance stops and you generally get away with it.\n\nThere is no intervention in this world to save the slaughter of innocents.  (See Darfur.)  \n\nSo if non violence doesn't work, terrorim becomes your only logical option.

Terrorists are products of Americana's aggression.

No, and it had no terrorists either. There are now 10's of thousands more terrorists thanks to Bush and Rumsfailed.

The events of September 11, 2001 made me realize the US is vulnerable.  I had always kind of felt that threats like terrorists attacks were not really a threat to us.  Then we were attacked like that on our own soil and I saw how vulnerable we really are.  It is only by the grace of God that humans have not wiped themselves out by now.

The vast majority of terrorist acts over the past 50 years have been undertaken by Muslims. I would contend that terrorist and terrorism are not always associated with Muslims, however. As an example, if you search for "terrorism" on Google, there are about 135,000,000 hits. However, if you search for "terrorism -Muslim -Arab" to remove every site that mentions Muslims and Arabs from the results, there are still 105,000,000 hits. Clearly, there is lots out there about the other terrorists around the world and they are not being ignored.

It's an absolute outrage, and the sad truth is, this has been going on since BEFORE 9/11.  The link I've included below takes you to a paper written by the Center for Security Policy back in 2001.  In in turn references an investigative report that ran in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review back in January of 2001.  Those Investments go back to when Barbara Hafer was the State Treasurer.  This has been a known issue for almost six years, and as far as I'm concerned, Bob Casey along with everyone else who serves on the retirement fund board, should be charged with treason!\n\nThe paper below includes the entire original article, which gives the names of five companies, and how those companies are involved in aiding terrorists.

Another attack can occur at almost anytime. No system is 100% fool proof and you can bet that the terrorists are looking and plotting a way to sneak another attack in on us. \n\nYou cant reason with terrorists and they don't understand talk. They kill woman, children and innocent people in the name of their religion, so, how can you reason with crazy people??\n\nWhile I am a democrat, I cant think of one, that could or would have handled 911 the right way. The liberal side of the party wants to talk about everything. They talked and talked in WW2 after getting evidence the Germans were exterminating Jews. They talked people all the way to the gas chambers in Auschwitz's and Treblinka.\n\nThis nation needs to pull together as one, but to do that, we need those people in Washington to do whats right for America, and not for their party. I point my finger at BOTH parties for staying the party line, and not the route that is best for this Nation.

Did you happen to know that putting the US into bankruptcy is the main goal of the terrorists?  Why do you think that most of terrorist attacks are mainly happening in Iraq?

No, I don't support it.  I haven't had the time to read the entire act, but I've read parts of it, and I've read various summaries.  It gives the federal government FAR too much power, and really does nothing to stop terrorism.  \n\nFor anyone who talks about how there hasn't been an attack on US soil since 9/11, when was the last one before 2001?  That would be the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.  Yeah, in the past four years, the rate of terrorist attacks has dropped from one every six years to what, exactly?  The only other terrorist attacks on US soil were in 1920, 1975, and 1993.  Yeah, we can really see the change in four years.\n\nBetween 1995 and 2001 there were three terrorist attacks against Americans abroad.  Between 2001 and 2005 there were six.  Yeah, the Patriot Act is sure stopping those terrorists in their tracks.\n\nLast I checked, all the people who orchestrated 9/11 who didn't die in the bombing are still out there.  Yeah, we catching so many terrorists thanks to the Patriot Act.\n\nTo summarize, the Patriot Act does nothing to fight terrorism but a whole lot to fight the civil rights of American citizens.

Hmm... Why?  Planning to blow one up?  \n\nSince the terrorism scares, if you even go hunting for this kind of info on the web you may get a visit from the FBI.

that wasn't terrorism, that was guellia war fare...some thing that the ameriacn military needs to "re-learn". because that is why we sucked sso bad in vietnam, & that is what is happening to our troops now in iraq. the modern idea of terrorism, is to blow $hit up, & kill as many people as possible while doing it. back then, in the 1700's, the worst thing done was just throwcrates of tea in to the harbor. a loss of product, thus a loss of wages, but no major loss of life!

There have been "home-grown terrorists" in America almost as long as the continent has been settled by Europeans.\n\nAt first they occured only sporadically, and the damage they did was mostly to wildlife and nature. We now remember them as "trappers" and did had a devastating effect on the natural balance of the American environment.\nWith immigration numbers rising, they became more numerous and extended their terrorist activities towards the native people, then called "Red Indians", but now acknowledged as Native Americans (even though their own origin lay in Asia). After a while of private terror, the new USA and her army joined in and created an early system of state-sponsored terrorism. This was so effective that most of the Native Americans were wiped out.\n\nParallel to this development a large number of private terror gangs established themselves in the so-called "Wild West" as guns for hire who would terrorise anyone regardless of colour, ethnicity, creed and status as long as they were payed for it or gained profit from it in other ways.\n\nSince the late 19th century these gangs also operated beyond the US borders, first in Mexico and Canada, then also in Central and South America and further afield. In 1898 the state joined in once more with the American-Spanish War, sending bands of terrorising shock troops to the Spanish colonies of Cuba and the Philippines. \nEver since terrorists "home-grown in the USA" have brought fear and violence to many parts of the world, either as individuals and small goups operating for private interests, or as large organised military bodies known as the US Marine Corps and the US Army.\n\nFor the past 60 years a new dimension has entered that frame: US lead and financed undercover operations, organised by the CIA and other state agencies. These involve Americans as well as large numbers of foreigners under US control.\nOne of the most recent of these groups is "Al Qaeda", which was formed by the CIA as a Muslim spearhead against the Russians occupying Afghanistan. They recruited fighters in the Middle East, trained, armed and financed them and selected their leader, a Saudi Arabian multi-millionaire and ex-playboy named Osama bin Laden. They even developed the idea of the modern "jihad", the holy war for political purposes, and the books about it were written and printed at the University of Nebraska. (I saw them myself during the 1980s in Pakistan and Afghanistan.)\nThe group is still under CIA control and by now one of their "black operations" which do offically not exist and are even kept secret from Congress and other political bodies, except the top brass at the White House. They have been used successfully to create a desire for war in the majority of US citizens, to create an excuse for invading and occupying Afghanistan, and partially for the war against Iraq and the continuing illegal occupation of that country.\n\nIt is also known that both CIA and FBI use undercover and sting operations quite regularly, setting up illegal and terrorist groups with taxpayers' money in order to lure gullible idiots into them for participation. Whenever it suits the political leadership, one of these groups is busted and sold to the gullible public as "a great success in the fight against crime and terrorism". The few stupid run-alongs are tried and disappear into jails for the rest of their miserable lives, while the organisers move on to do the same thing all over again elsewhere, spending more taxpayers' money on it. \nAll this together makes the USA the home of 90% of the world's terrorists.

We have been in it since 1979. And just didn't admit it until 9/11.  With the Islamic Fundamentalist bombing in places like Sri Lanka, Israel, Spain, Great Briton, Egypt (the Coptic Christians are being hounded pretty good right now), Phillipenes.  It wasn't until Afganistan that we have taken the threat seriously.
