if you want to copy Oerdin you're welcome too.

You've also missed Richard Reid's attempted assault on American Airlines flight 63 .

Surely Bush shouldn't be penalized for terrorist attacks we successfully prevented. That's more of a credit to him...

July 4th 2002 saw an attack on an El Al airlines counter at L.A.X. by an Egyptian gunman.

According to wiki:

The FBI concluded this was terrorism, although they found no evidence linking Hadayet to any terrorist group.

According to wiki he was a random nutter who shot a few people and claimed he was a terrorist. I don't even remember the incident. Doesn't make for very good terrorism, does it?

John Allen Muhammad, the Beltway Sniper, was also charged and found guilty of terrorism in 2003.

Granted. That makes the totals even (by my accounting). Even so, you can hardly claim that there's been some dramatic surge in terrorism in the United states since Bush. Just ask people what the most recent terrorist attack is they remember is - the answer will be 9/11 (I have just conducted an unscientific survey of several people in my dorm and 80% of them said 9/11 - one mentioned the anthrax attacks). Terrorism no one notices isn't particularly effective or important, don't you think?
