The United States has not been immune from such attacks either. In fact, one of the first Islamic terrorist vehicle attacks occurred in North Carolina in 2006. Another occurred last year on the campus of the Ohio State University. Why all the vehicle attacks?

D-Day succeeded not because of a brilliant plan, not because of special intelligence, and not because of technology.
