Why have Al Qaeda not attacked America since 9/11?
11th september 2001
19 al qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 planes full of passengers
2 flown into twin towers and another flown into the pentagon
WHY? why did they attack america? what is bin laden's beef?
israel and palestine is one reason given, america supports israel and close friends with them
military bases in saudi arabia and throughout the region is another reason given
after 9/11 america was still close friends with israel and set up even more bases throughout middle east
they went to war with afghanistan and iraq and now libya more recently and thousands of muslims have been killed as a result
so al qaeda should be fuming with anger and hatred after this right?
yet, there have been no attacks on america by al qaeda since 9/11
WHY???
and i don't just mean another attack on the scale of 9/11, i mean no attack of any kind whatsoever
how could they pull off such a massive operation as 9/11 one moment and the next they cannot even blow up a car or hijack a bus, even something as small as one lone crazy al qaeda guy going into a pub and shooting a load of people
what a load of horse shit. seems like you agree with "if we dont fight them there, theyll come here!", one of the most ridiculous stances of the bush regime.
the reason there havent been attacks is because alqaeda is a TINY ass organisation that is too worried about their own asses to plan stuff like that. another reason, they acheived their goals by dragging america into a war which consumes its economic resources and makes the world hate it due to its actions.
i think it would help people immensely to understand the difference between alqaeda and the TALIBAN.
what you have stated is merely propaganda for imperialism
because AQ has less than 200 members, less than 20 key members
not to mention that, since 9-11, they have been in active combat, have had their finances cut, and the west has taken the threat of islamic terrorism seriously
god, that even depends on what you call a terrorist
are the baathists in Iraq, or local resistance groups "terrorists" because they use asymmetric tactics? are the taliban groups terrorists? is al Shabab, the defacto ruling group in Mogadishu a terrorist organization?
i am asking questions based on info told to me from governments
how do you know what the US intelligence itself says? and how reliable is anything they say?
regular people know nothing of any intelligence, we just know what we get told by governments
the intelligence on iraq was wrong, so how does anyone know what is truth and fiction?
my main question is why have america not been attacked since 9/11? i don't understand why there have been no more attacks throughout the "war on terror"
are there any terrorist cells in america right now?
if there are, why have they not attacked?
if there are no terrorists inside america why are they fighting a war on terror still? why not just stop their fighting and bring their soldiers home?
politicians use the specter of terrorism to push through their policy ambitions
they release frequent reports that are normally completely ignored by the political establishment
yes, but you could make that argument about anything
there is certainly no credible evidence that AQ has thousands of members though
the short answer is that AQ proper was all but destroyed in the initial invasion of Afghanistan
the terror attacks you see in the west now are almost uniformly perpetrated by home grown islamists, something which North America has a little bit of natural protection against. The reason for this is that most North American countries don't define themselves by a single identity, but rather as a tolerant group of multiple ethnicities, and therefore, it is easier for immigrants to feel as though they belong to the society. There is also the fact that europe is closer than north america to these muslim nations, and therefore the immigrants who tend to come to NA from those places generally have more money and can thus integrate better into society.
probably, but not all terrorists are part of AQ. there are more jewish and christian terrorists in America than islamists, however, environmental and leftist terrorism takes the largest share of terrorist activities in the states
statistically speaking, you have much more to worry about from the children of god or the animal liberation front than you do AQ
because it isn't really easy to do, especially in a climate where the authorities are very sensitive to these matters
look at the failed times square attack. They nabbed the guy because a store clerk thought it was weird he bought a large amount of nail polish remover
there is also the fact that muslims in America have been incredibly cooperative with the police, and have informed frequently on the suspicious activities of their neighbours.
?
lol, 2003 just called, they're wondering where you have been for 8 years

there is also the general psychology of terrorists themselves. most are really only willing to engage in domestic struggles against local oppression (Kashmir, Palestine, Chechnya, soviet and American occupied Afghanistan, the Pakistani tribal regions). fighting against America was not an original goal of most mujahideen organizations, and in fact, bin laden was very unpopular among post soviet afghan fighters for wanting to fight them.
how did the terrorists manage to successfully attack the HQ of american military, the pentagon?
why don't the government let us see video footage of the plane crashing into the pentagon, why no just show the footage instead of keeping it secret for no valid reason
why did the terrorists not attack the white house just down the road?
