like the guys in Pakistan that blew the Americans up on their way to a school grand-opening? or like the guys in Karbala and Baghdad just recently? or Isreal? or...do you really want me to continue?

If the terrorists/insurgents target operations ONLY in their own turf, then they dont really ever scare or kill their intended prey: Americans. Where else in the world to you have a greater concentration of Americans than in America?

I also found it funny that the media had mentioned that the Americans were on the way to an opening of a school that they helped rebuild only because it was the only way the story could be understood. How much attention was given to the fact that American forces rebuilt something?
