Don't be silly.

American's view democrats as weak on foreign policy in general. People have gotten over 9-11. Just looked at Rudy 9-11 Guiliani's failed campaign. He said 9-11 every other word to try to get elected. That fear has worn off. A fresh scare would get the masses scared and in line with the right.
A new 9-11 would have a good impact on the republicans, they could go "see, we aren't safe! the war on terror is far from over". Fear works. Me and you know we have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than getting killed by a terrorist, however Joe Sixpack would be out back digging a bunker if there was another "attack". I think the whole terrorist scare is right out of a George Orwell novel. Let's face it, McDonald's and automobiles kill more Americans than the terrorists could ever dream. The patriot act took more freedom from American's than could be taken in 1,000 terror attacks.
