IMHO, the reason Al Quaeda are targeting the American Left is that this is the component of America that threatens them the most. They are sick of leftist do-gooder NGOs messing up their economy and telling them how to live, how to raise their kids, and how to farm their land. They are afraid of American advertising and culture abetting loose sex in a nation with no means to control the spread of AIDS that would turn them into another Southern Africa. They know that food aid programmes mess up their local agricultural markets. They fear pagan klepto-fascist UN population control and a corporate takeover of their country and their freedom.

Do they need any more reason than that?

Indeed, the left threatens US in very much the same manner. If Al Quaeda was to get personal and specific, I believe you are correct. I doubt they care to be specific, though. They want us all dead. Its time for the left to realize the folly of their ways, swallow their pride, get out of the way, and let US clean up the mess.
