Events in Iraq certainly have taken a turn. Where the path will lead remains to be seen... I am hopefull--and not just because my son is over there--that Al Queda is truly on the ropes. Right Wing Extremists usually find it difficult to maintain popular support for long in almost any culture, so I remain hopeful.
However, I can't help but notice that the "slow-down" in the groups activity can be traced
roughly to September when Bin Laden told them to quit fighting amongst themsleves and focus on the real enemy--namely the US and Western Nations. If he actually has that much influence, it could be that they again are just biding their time and waiting for a moment to strike that will cause the most damage.
I sure hope I'm wrong. Please tell me I'm off base here and--please tell me
why!
Glad I've started checking this side of subsim (General Topics)!!! It may be the "Darkside" but it certainly draws all the finest people
