... since we are doing exactly what they want us to do: occupy a Middle Eastern country indefinitely, and remain stuck in an endless conflict that drains us economically and isolates us politically.

Why would al Qaeda attack the continental US and risk shifting international opinion back in our favor? So, no, it's not an accident that they haven't attacked us. They would be strategically foolish to do so.

Bush & Cheney could hardly have executed al Qaeda's plans more effectively if they were to hold daily phone calls with bin Laden and Zawahiri.
