bombing the election

Al Qaeda may be planning attacks to influence the election, and for once I thank God that we are such an ill-informed, narcissistic nation, because they are said to not be capable of striking in the U.S.

Doesn't bin Laden know that we don't give a shit about what happens elsewhere? On the most recent anniversary of 9/11, we were heard congratulating ourselves that there had not been another terrorist attack. As though London and Madrid do not exist. Our embassy in Yemen was bombed last week. How many Americans are even aware that this happened? Al Qaeda would have to kill tens of thousands in some other country to get us to notice, and I don't think they are capable of that yet.
