Oh Hell, Why Not Add Another Front?

Captain's Quarters: Oh Hell, Why Not Add Another Front?

"Al-Qaeda continued its efforts to disenchant yet another region with a
declaration of war against North Africa today. Despite their general inability
to prevail in Iraq, successfully detonate explosives in Britain, and do anything
else in the US, AQ warned Muslims to stay away from their own government
buildings on the south side of the Mediterranean:"


I think this is good news for America and all the enemies of terror. AQ is over playing its hand, which means that not only will it lose its fighting strength, but it will lose control over the battle. The whole structure threatens to become more decentralised, which would mean that AQ would become a marginal group in a competing groups for power. While these groups in North Africa are taking support from AQ now, I would be willing to bet, that if they are to gain power, they won't want to take orders from a man in a cave. If they continue to struggle then they are likely to drift away from AQ just for a lack of success.
