Let's see, what has al-quaeda done since 9/11. Bombed 900 commuters on a Spanish train.
Their biggest enemy (according to them) is the US and since 9/11 they haven't been able
to do shit, so they bomb a friggin' commuter train in Europe and now they are going to kill
Canadians.

I got this feeling they don't have to do much at the moment :-)
Everything is going their way - they have caused enough "upset" and damage in economic terms it's causing problems even within the US. The longer the US runs around using that "terrorism" word, they are winning.
9/11 was an evil attack, even for "terrorists". If you consider all the other "terrorist organizations" worldwide - they "normally" have some recognizable "agenda" for a grievance/cause. This lot "appear" to be just damned nasty and evil. I keep wanting to hear what made bin Laden the man he appears to be and the reasons he ended up with this mentality. There is little doubt there is "reasoning" somewhere, but he's gone stupid with it.
The other "problem" is that there has rarely been a "winner" with "terrorists" - being armed to the teeth is not a defence. Attacks cost little and can be launched easily and when the attackers are willing to die - even less chance. Extensive intelligence, tho better, is not a solution. It may be hard to see at this time, but one day we may see these people sitting across a conference table "negotiating" for something. Ironical!
