Wow- what a broadening of the defintion of Al Queda! But anyway. It is known that the Basque terrorists in Spain have trained in Islamic terrorist camps. Are they now part of the "war"? What about Chechnyans? How about the KLA in Kosovo whose contact with Al Queda is well documented but yet whom we support and as even as late as this summer covered a withdrawal from a Macedonian army encirclement! Please. If any group who once gave aid or traded intelligence with Osama and Al Queda and therefore any state which supports such a group is now a target then declare friggin war and show us the proof! I demand at least that and so should you. Please. What a paltry reed to hang a war on.

Islamic Jihad is PArt of Al-Qaeda. Do you think it is a coincidence that Bin LAden's named succesor is a member of Islamic Jihad? Is it a coincidence that the military mastermind of Al-Qaeda, before his death during our war, was the former head of Egyptian Islamic Jihad?
Al-Qaeda, or more accurately the World Struggle Against Jews and Crusaders, is an umbrella group that contains Al-Jihad and works with Hamas and Hizbullah.
Guess who funds Islamic Jihad? Guess who is the money and arms behind Hamas and Hizbullah. Here is a hint, the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran is and has been the major supporter and exporter of Islamism since 1979. It is the enemy.
