Basically, we aren't. Our defenses are immaterially better (all show, no go), and the liklihood of attack is an order of magnitude greater.

Osama hasn't been captured, his organization is stronger than ever, and we're squandering all our resources in Iraq, a country that was not involved in Islamic terrorism until we invaded it. Now it's voting to become an Islamic Republic just like it's new buddy Iran.

You, marlowe, either know better than the trash you spout, in which case you've no ethics whatever, or you are just as stupid and dishonest as the administration your support, and that's really stupid and really dishonist.
