What about the plot originating in the U.K. to fly 10 passenger aircraft into the U.S. and, presumably, explode them over U.S. cities. Isn't that an attack?
A bunch of incompetent buffoons. Do you seriously believe that if anyone with brains wanted to cause serious damage to this country, they wouldn't be able to? The government is not omniscient. Our security procedures are swiss cheese. All it would take is just one slip up for one of the supposed massive hordes of terrorists to get through. Yet we haven't had an attack.
Most likely explanation: the terrorists simply don't have the motivation and expertise to attack the US, and there are virtually no US-based terror cells.
(BTW, the attacks in London and Madrid are inconsequential - we're talking about terrorists wanting to attack the US specifically, since we're supposedly the most hated enemy.)
