Assume that bombs have fallen on the US. 

If so, the question to ask is

Why have no bombs fallen on the US since pearl Harbor? 

Some bombs did fall on the continental US during W.W.II, but there are
hardly worth remembering compared with all the other bombs that fell
elsewhere. 

Other than these balloon bombs why have no bombs  fallen on the US since
PH? 

Does Hiroshima have anything to do with it? 

Victory in Europe? 

The US being so big and protected by two oceans? 

The power of the US military? 

Where have bombs been falling since PH and who has been dropping them? 

Why did it take so long for an enemy to finally bomb the US PH to 9-11? 

 Terrorist bombings kill people just like cluster bombs or A-bombs. And
when family and friends are killed by terrorist bombs or rockets or high
jacked planes, the reaction of the people can be a bit mad. 

P is warning us to come to our senses.
