Here's hoping that the next 36-48 hours is uneventful.

Yeah.
Even though it's not 9/11 today, it's 9/11 (or going to be) in other parts of the world.
The real test of time probably won't start until 9-10 P.M. CST cause that's when the day starts in the Middle East.
I would hate to wake up to another embassy bombing (or protest) like I did 2 years ago.
I think the date means more to us in the western world than it does to Islamic extremists. We're so concerned about the possibility of anniversary attacks - but the extremists don't seem to care when they attack, as long as their attack is effective.
True, but they are playing right into our fears by attacking on anniversary dates. By attacking on 9/11 instead of 11/9 creates a spread of fear for years to come, which enhances their attack significantly.
Even if there will never be another attack on 9/11, the fear still continues on (like December 8th for example).
What they did 2 years ago just reinforced the original attack and created additional fear of future attacks, even though there may never be another one to ever happen.
