The dog that neither barked nor made an appearance

The biggest one day event in world history and Al Qaeda did nothing. A Christian event at that, and both Blair and Bush were on the scene. What a target.

Surely, this means something, doesn't it?

Couldn't the networks take a break from weddings and Michael Jackson to add a little perspective on the War on Terror? Were the Italians good? Lucky? Is Al Qaeda crippled?
