Al Qaeda Failed, But It's Not Over Yet

Eight years after 9/11: Why Osama bin Laden failed

"Today, however, al-Qaeda is believed to comprise a couple of hundred desperate men, their core leaders hiding out in Pakistan's tribal wilds and under constant threat of attack by ever present U.S. drone aircraft, their place in Western nightmares and security determinations long since eclipsed by such longtime rivals as Iran, Hizballah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood."

The war against Islamofacism is far from over. Perhaps bin Laden was regarded as a hero in Islamist circles but al Qaeda was only one branch of a movement that spans the globe and foments even in our back yards, as the recent arrests in Great Britain attest.

As I've said all along, the War on Terror is akin to the Cold War and it may take as long, maybe longer. The next theatre ought to be Iran and that sooner rather than later. The Iranian people are ready to shake off the beast that has been stirring up Islamist shit since 1979 and Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas will likely collapse shortly after. Is the meeting between the big six and Iran at the Monkey-Go-Round the last chance? Will Obama do what's necessary, or will it be up to Israel? Is it any wonder that the left is turning up the anti-Israel/anti-Semitism rhetoric to nauseating decibels?
