Abdullah Azzam Brigades, al Qaida and Osama bin laden hate Christian and Jews and have proclaimed an international holy war. Of course their plans must be defeated.

My anger is directed toward the Bush administration and their allies who have not hunted down Osama and his operatives and put an end to this madness. When I think of all the resources being funelled into the war in Iraq, I am dismayed and disgusted. Invading Iraq was misquided, to say the least.

It will take international co-operation to defeat al Qaida and the arrogance of the Bush administration has done nothing but divide the power needed to root out terrorism. I am also angry that the U.S. provided the money to initially train these monsters in Afghanistan. We have lost valuable time, money and human resources in the effort to spread democracy in the Middle East and secure our access to their resources.

Abdullah Azzam has lectured widely and has many dedicated brigades in all nations. It is these organizations that must be found and destroyed. They are hate-based and target Christians and Jews (the rest of us poor saps just get caught in the cross-fire).

I hope that international co-operation between the secret police of all nations will be able to root out the terrorists among us and that it will not lead to trigger-happy murders or false imprisonment. It will take a high degree of communication and training to be able to accomplish this goal.

Unfortunately, I think we have lost valuable time by playing into the hands of al Quaida. There are far more terrorists now than before 911. Hating and fearing Muslims will not solve this problem. They have been living with the radical elements of their faith longer than we have.

I strongly believe that the people of the governments under attack are stronger than their leaders. It is my only hope.
