You guys forget that the countries of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon are all artificial creations of the British and french at the end of ww1. Artificial borders put into place to keep them weak and easily manageable. Putting them all together again into one country is not an outlandish goal. They are trying in their own way to correct 100 years of western meddling in their affairs. Bush and the neocons made it possible by their inept and clumsy attack on the one stabilizing power in the region.
And this is not an al Qaeda issue. AL Qaeda has never been more then a few hundred men. They have been made into the boogeyman by the neocons and are trotted out to scare gullible republican supporters into line at every opportunity.
