I find it a bit hard to believe that armed fanatics would lie low, only to be aroused from their slumber by U.S. war on Afg. Had they given up on their mission? Were they freshly inspired by B-52s? And why, if AQ is hot to kill Americans and destroy our property at home & abroad, why would the Bush admin not be serious about eradicating them? Just because they're using AQ as a pretext for larger imperial aims doesn't mean that crushing AQ isn't part of the imperial agenda. What's your evidence to the contrary?
