Reasons They Haven’t Hit Us Again

Why haven't terrorists been able to strike at the U.S. again since 9-11. Have the French of all people really saved our bacon? Christopher McDougall, Craig Horowitz and Evan Wright of The New Yorker Magazine examine the situation and offer some theories:

1. We’re On Al Qaeda Time.
2. New York Has Become A Difficult Target.
3. The French Have Saved Us.
4. Suicide Bombings Don’t Work Here.
5. Bin Laden Isn’t A Terrorist, He’s A Killer.
6. We Have Informants Everywhere.
7. Homegrown Terrorists Are Incompetent.
8. We’re Trying to Think Like They Think.
