I hope so, but I'm not too sure.
There's probably more hatred now of the West than before 911.
The US government has spent tonnes more money on the Iraq war than on Homeland Security.
The 911 Comission, the US Senate report on the Iraq war intelligence, etc. etc., seem to show that the intelligence community still has a lot to learn from its mistakes, as do the politicians, & there is no guarantee that the changes recommended will be implemented.
And as danielf said, even if the terrorists don't manage anything else on the scale of 911, things such as Bali & Madrid show how easy it is for smaller, but still terrible, attacks.
