#1 I agree that the terrorism is a bottom up concept. Where I quibble is that terrorism is only one component of jihad. One that is effective because of our division, weakness and aversion to respond in force and with permanent consequences. The leadership of jihad doesn't come from bin Laden or Zawahiri. It comes from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, all the mosques and each muslim who is taught and believes "Jihad is incumbent upon you."

#2 It must be in the stars. America has no leadership today either. We are not dead or defeated, but a few wrong moves by our ~~leaders~~ elites and we could hemorrhage.

#3 Steve White:

you are enough of a milk-toast to run for office. Seven year long terrorist trials are: accessions to terrorism.

#4 Leaderless Jihad, argues that the main threat no longer comes from the organization called Al Qaeda, but from the bottom up from radicalized individuals and groups who meet and plot in their neighborhoods and on the Internet.

So, am I to now believe that state sponsored terrorism has ended?

#5 ...This may very well be the next big threat, and announced by President Obama: "We beat al-Q! Now we can divert all that money to global warming research..."
