Of course they'd like to do damage here on our own soil. They really liked it an aweful lot when we were more accommodating--when they could attack us and get away with it. Now that their formal training camps are obliterated and their senior echelons are dead or hiding in the Hindu Kush mountains and unable to use satphones or modern bank transferrances, training is far less intense and more OJT, hence the decidedly unclever cats' paws who are following holy Johad for Al Queda. Al Queda can no longer recruit and train 1st class fanatics so they make do with what they can get--3rd strongers.
Let's put up some recruiting posters to get the Jihadists to kill infidels in Iraq.

Excellent observations all.
I would add that Al Qaida is not the only enemy. The Democrats current and upcoming focus on only Bin Laden is a sentinel example and very telling regarding their attitude to the problem at hand. It is completly reactionary and wholly discounts other radical muslim groups such as Hezbollah. It is abundently clear that they will only focus on other groups similar to Al Qaida after they have attacked us again. Despite Hezbollah having done so in the past and all of the groups stating that they intend to - just like Al Qaida did prior to World Trade Center 1 and 2.
I'm on travel this week and as a result have spent way too much time watching the news shows. Max Cleland, various democratic stratigists and Bill Maher in the last few days exemplify what I've said above. Sorry to sound overly politicized but that's just the way I see it. No Democrat who is going to be firm on ALL terrorist Islamic groups can be elected in that party now. We'll be chasing an ineffective Bin Laden in the mountains while some Iran proxy blows a whole in some American city or more likely a European city, no doubt after the 17th or 18th UN resolution condemning whatever action Iran has done lately.
