...Sept. 12, 2001, there wasn't a person in Washington who did not think that it was only a matter of days or weeks or at most months before the jihadists would strike again. It has been more than four years. Al-Qaeda knows its inability to repeat 9/11 is a blow to its prestige and pretensions of leading a global jihad. Anyone can put a bomb in a Bali discothèque.
