The estimated number of al-Qaida agents, foot soldiers and allies worldwide is over 10 million. That number may be low.

Western intelligence sources also estimate that al-Qaida sympathizers could be as high as 10% of Muslims. Since the number of Muslims worldwide exceed one billion, that intelligence estimate works out to upwards of 100 MILLION people.

Al-Qaida forces are dispersed as widely as Indonesia and the Philippines to Europe, Asia and Australia. They are in East Africa and Nigeria; they are in Canada and Mexico.

Ostriches must be taking lessons from you. You are the unrivaled master of sticking your head in the sand.

Al Qaeda, which has never been more than a tiny part of the violence.
