>Terrorism is not a big problem because we work so hard to fight against it.
Citation needed. The government has yet to stop a single terrorist plot. The only ones they claim they've stopped are very clear entrapment cases that never would have amounted to anything without the government supplying the motivations and the supplies.
Every time a terrorist has actually tried an attack they've either succeed or screwed up all by themselves. The reason terrorism is not a big problem for the US is because terrorists nearly never attack the US.
> The government has yet to stop a single terrorist plot.
The world isn't an action movie where the hero stops the terrorist by cutting the wire on the bomb at the last minute.
An attack is stopped way way earlier in the process, where there is much less drama.
It gives a perverse incentive actually: Wait till the attack gets really big and obvious before stopping it, just so you can get some good press. I hope they never give in to this.
We have no evidence that even one plot has been stopped. The plots they show us that they have stopped are clear cases of entrapment. So why would you assume that some great work is going on behind the scenes given these two bits of evidence?
But it's amusing you bring up action movies since you clearly believe them. The reason we're not constantly getting attacked is because no one is attacking us.
