I'm almost tempted to say 'Sorry, but I can't be bothered to read it' but seem to recall that the first response to that thread was along exactly those lines... {edited to add - actually, it was the second reply...}
It all boils down to the fact that as long as the general public perceive there to be little threat (because they now don't believe Presidente Tony when he says that there is one), and as long as other things that impinge upon their lives (or the lives of friends and acquaintances) are in need of sorting out, then the public won't bother.
As Gorilla says, as soon as something happens in the UK courtesy of AQ (God forbid, but even He might be a bit hard pushed on that one), then there'll be a fuss, mutterings about increasing defence spending - which will largely be smoke and mirrors through misleading use of figures - and then.... then we'll be having a similar discussion to this one no more than twelve months after.
