Michael,

But i have come to believe that al quaeda is looking to suck us into insolulable conficts in which they can turn the populations against us.

So they achieve this end by bombing and terrorizing fellow Muslims?

I don't really see where this is gaining them any traction with any but those Muslims who are already in the edge of waging an Islamic civil, and merely waiting for a reason to act.

My view has been that, by waging our war against Al Qai'da amidst their fellow muslims, that they would be forced to use tactics aimed at intimidating other Muslims from opposing them and supporting our efforts for creating reform. And this is a very counter-productive strategy over the long-term.

However, if we pull out and leave the people of the region to be victimized and dominated, Jihadist have practical free-rein to target the West and have the "Arab street" applaud their efforts as many did on 9/11.
