How come nobody is predicting terrorist attacks?

[alchemize]

I remember back in 2004 we used to have all kinds of predictions on terrorist attacks, how Bush would never let himself lose power, etc.

my personal favorite

Are we finally coming to an age where "the world will end tomorrow" has been said so many times that finally those idiots are staying under their bridges?

Granted, it was great comedy to see the predictions and then refute them, but I feel somewhat empty. Sure I have Dave and techs stupid predictions to beat up on, but that's like drinking diet cola.

Because deep down inside radical muslims actually love the US, and would never do anything to hurt us. USS Cole, WTC I, WTC II, and all the embassy bombings were just misunderstandings.

No different than your (and others) behavior in 2004 when John "I'll never vote for that bastard he voted for the war" Kerry lost

Can you say this more clearly? I don't get it. And no, not saying that's your fault.

I made some predictions - there are some vague threats of a crisis to come:
