What Is Al Qaida?

This is more in my stream-of-conciousness/random thought series.

It occured to me that whatever Al Qaida was pre 9/11, they aren't that now. I give the Administration credit: we eliminated their base in Afghanistan, killed a good number of them, captured more, and scattered the rest. Their money has been frozen. They can't move as freely as they could before. As a realistic and viable organization, they really don't exist as they did pre 9/11.

But they are still dangerous, perhaps even more so.

There are many, many terrorist organizations inhabiting our planet. Lately, they've been acting out: in Kuwait, off of Yemen, in Bali, and most recently, in Kenya.

My observation...just an observation: These people aren't Al Qaida. But, Al Qaida is getting them to do their dirty work for them. A demonically intelligent plan, on their part. It's still evil. I'm in no way condoning it.

Take it or leave it.

If we want to eliminate terrorism, we need to #1 Find the Cause. #2: Fix the Cause.
