#1 There is mounting concern that Al-Qaeda and its international affiliates are actually stronger now than they were in 2001. I think this is probably true. I also think the difficulty of mounting big 9/11 type operations has gone way (at least in some countries) and may well be beyond AQ's capabilities. They will increasingly strike soft targets, which despite the Greek governments posturing, includes the Athens Olympics.

#4 I think winning and losing are meaningless concepts in this kind of war
We may have to reach back and adopt some of the ways of our forefathers (in my case Vikings, Huns and Visigoths). Civil society as we know it is going to have to change, with it's inbuilt tolerence of the "underdog", otherwise we may as well start lining up at the mosque( the house of prostration) for our lessons in Islam.

#5 This is all B.S. IMHO. The story about 18,000 al Qaeda members and thousands of new recruits and this story are out for one reason -- to harm W's election chances. If, God forbid, John F*cking Kerry wins, the "US Winning War on Terrorism" stories will start appearing in the NY Times and LA Times beginning on February 1, 2005.
