These groups may not all be al-Qaeda, though I would argue that the difference between them is at best a matter of semantics due to their shared membership in bin Laden's International Islamic Front. The Chechens who took over that Moscow theater were in contact with their controllers in Pankisi and the Gulf, the Algerian nuts openly proclaim their allegiance to bin Laden, and for the Pakistani jihadis the issue has gone beyond Kashmir to more or less conquering India. You yourself have spent ample time chronicling the links between the Balkans jihadis and bin Laden's storm troopers.

We can't afford to ignore this (or where all the money for all of these operations is ultimately coming from) anymore than we can afford to ignore those segments of the Iranian government that are more or less complicit in an unprovoked attack on the US.

Not ignoring just saying to say Iran is not accurate. Iranian elements. Those elements may be the Iranian Mullahs themselves. This alliance with al-Qaeda worked in Bosnia....
