I'm not sure...
I mean, I wouldn't doubt that the possibility of another one occuring is there.
But I feel pretty safe in our country right now...

There will always be threats of terrorist attack when the U.S. keeps meddling with the politics of other countries. Would you like it, if China funded a billion dollars for one candidate over another? Would you like it, if China sends over troops and puts a base here in America? It would be in there "interests" to do so and protect China... right? Or maybe across the border in Mexico... until the U.S. stops meddling, and proclaiming it is trying to "free" people from other regimes only to put them in our regime... we will always be hated by others... you can't hate someone who doesn't do anything...

Default Of course

Of course there will be.
But whether that individual/group is a Al-Qaeda backed remains to be seen. Don't for get about types like Tim Mcveigh or the unibomer types out there.

Look. Even though I know there will be another terrorist attack on this country eventually, I'm really not feeling a paralyzing fear about.
In fact, I'm just to busy being in shear terror every time I have to merge/drive on the Garden State Park Way in NJ. If you want live in fear drive on that highway for 10 miles or so.

I'll tell you what though I try to be aware of anything suspicious and report it to the authorities. I sure they can handle it from there. In fact if I remember correct a lowly photo clerk help stop a possible terrorist attack this summer in NJ by seen some suspicious pictures he developed. He reported it to authorities and they ended up stop a plot to bomb some type of pipeline near the Newark airport (I think it was Newark anyways.)

there will be another one, I just hope tho when it happens, we go over and blow that side of the world back up instead of wasting years and years to defend all those little countries that are going to be exterminated anyway, maybe then they will understand that we mean it when we say STAY OUT, Bin Laden can swim for all I care, I think hes a myth anyway...
