My only guess is because there are more people die in Car accidents in USA than people die in car bombings all over the world combined.

We had plane/suicide bombers. That was bad enough. :(

Because Israel is just a bus ride away.

I think that the mindset for attacks on the USA is they want them to be as big and as spectacular as possible with a maximum number of casulties possible.

If a few public places like malls, sporting events were hit with suicide bombers it would cause flat out panic...and possibly push us to war with the entire middle east.

I wondered why it hasn't happened yet too. Hopefully they're shipping the fuckers off to the gulag gitmo before they can do it.

1. I agree with that. Definitely.

2. It was never easy to conduct such acts in the first place.

3. Your average suicidal bomber can get to Israel a lot easier. (They tend not to have enough money for a plane ticket).

4. Office of Homeland Security. They're watching people with funny sounding last names REAL carefully.
