Actually we didn't really take the fight to the terrorists, we took it to Iraq (which was someone's home, if not yours or mine), largely ignoring our own shores.
I was aghast when George gave his first big post-9/11 speech and said the answer to why most of the world hates the US was the absurd "they hate our freedoms." But now I think he may have been sincere--his approach, and that of Britain in tracking all movements, is apparently to keep us safe from terrorism by removing the offending freedoms. Stupid, but sincere.
