So this is a new Al Queda strategy.

These guys aren't stupid. Now they are threatening to focus attacks on Russia unless they elect someone who will pull out of Chechnya. Like I said, they aren't stupid. They understand how to use fear. Attack Spain in a vulernable moment in a close election. Get anti-war folks in power. Break down the support of the Iraq war even more. Alienate America from Europe, or should I say, Europe from America. Propose peace, in exchange for "leaving Al Queda alone." It worked against Saudi Arabia for 10 years. Grow in power. Alienate America. Lose our UN support in Afghanistan. Take over Afghanistan again. Alienate Musharraf. Kill Musharraf. Take over Pakistan. Own nuclear weapons. Take over the Middle East. Blackmail the world. Empower the mullah's and religious fundamentalists everywhere. Take over Europe.

It has happened before. It can happen again.
