Slate just published a special series from Timothy Noah about why America hasn't been attacked since 9/11. For over six weeks, Noah studied literature and interviewed terrorism experts about why the dire predictions of a 9/11 sequel proved untrue. He concludes that it's impossible to answer with certainty, but he comes up with eight theories—ranging from fairly reassuring to deeply worrying—on why we haven't been attacked.
Beginning today and over the next seven days, Noah will explain one theory a day. Today he examines the "Terrorists-Are-Dumb" theory.
