If US had stayed after them in Afghanistan and really gone after them world wide with all the good will and resource at their command, Al Qaeda be a footnote.. Iraq created a monster

The active cells that did 9/11 were based in Hamburg and Saudi Arabia. The cells that did Madrid were based in Spain and Algeria. These comments are simply not realistic imo. I know that left side of the political spectrum wishes very hard to believe that Al Qaeda was a localized phenomenon centered on Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden, but wishing does not make it so.

The US did stay after them in Afghanistan, and when it finds them there it is still going after them.
