  Israel - 2003 Terrorism Review
Attacks against American targets - On October 15, 2003, a bomb was detonated against a US Embassy convoy in the Gaza Strip, in which three American security guards were murdered and one was wounded.
In 2003, the terrorist infrastructures in Judea and Samaria were behind the majority of the suicide attacks that were perpetrated in Israel, and were responsible for the murders of over 60% of all victims from terror attacks this year.
While there was a significant drop in the number of terror attacks in 2003, it must be remembered that many horrific and devastating attacks were prevented while in the final stages of preparation by the arrests of terrorists who were already on their way to perpetrate the attacks.

 Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ, Arabic الجهاد الإسلامي الفلسطيني - Harakat al-Jihād al-Islāmi al-Filastīni) is a militant group, regarded as terrorist by Israel, the United States and the European Union, whose goal is the "liberation" of historical Palestine, destruction of the State of Israel and its replacement with an Islamist state for Palestinians.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad often attempts to carry out attacks against Israeli targets on the anniversary of his death, although the identity of the assassins was never determined.
Many of the attacks in 2001 and 2002 came from the PIJ in Jenin, headed by Mahmoud Tawallbe, Ali Sefoori and Tabeth Mardawi.

 Why there have been no terrorist attacks against the US or our interests since 9/11   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
Another attack against the US, and it will make life that much harder for Muslims in the US, Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran; which is why I, as opposed to most of the experts on the subject, do not forsee any terrorist attacks against the US or our interests for the forseeable future.
I find your analysis of why the 9/11 attacks occured as logical as any I've seen, but I think that islam is merely hiding in the weeds awaiting the "right time and circumstances" (whatever the time and circumstances are) to start nefarious activities in places other than the middle east.
Further, I think that a semi-united front and active attacks against some of their brethern have them reeling just now - I think they totally misjudged what the world and US reaction would be, and they are currently regrouping in the face of same.
