There is a structure called Al Quaeda. but it is more important to realize it's mental presence inside heads, it's character of it's deeds being an example for others. Al Quaeda greatest threat potential is that now it is an idea, a motivation, a thinking pattern, a way of gaining superindividual identity: the feeling of being part of something bigger. And that is attractive for quite some people. You could wipe out Al Quaeda organisations and sub-cells militarily, but Al Quaeda still would be there. You must also find a way to deterr those who potentially might share it'S way of thinking from doing so. How? I do not know. Mayby only brute force would work here. What will not work is a soft, psychological approach: Al Quaeda founds it's acting on an aggressive warrior-religion and a faith of rightful demanding all world, and being individually superior.
