The 9/11 attack was, as far as we are concerned, even worse than Pearl Harbor. The main difference is that Pearl Harbor ushered the second World War and that so far there has been no repeat performance of the 9/11 attack. But even top officials believe that a second 9/11 attack is not a matter of if but when. If a second attack has not occurred, it is not because terrorists have abandoned their activities but due to the fact rigid security measures are being strictly enforced.
