That is such total BS when all it takes is 19 guys with box cutters to bring us to our knees. After that we had the shoe bomber(1 guy), the DC sniper (1 guy and a kid), the Virginia Tech shooter(1 guy), the anthrax mailer(1 guy) and many more. It has always amused me when people put that argument forth. It's even more amusing and even scary when people say that there weren't any terrorist attacks on us during Bush(WTF?! as if 9/11 never happened and Bush wasn't the president during the worst attack on us. See: Cheney, Liz Cheney, Hannity, Rudy, et al).

The right figures that if they repeat a lie enough times people will believe it. Or at least the dumber half of Americans that only get their news from one single source...i.e., FOX.
