If there was a real organized and well funded Al Qaeda, then there
would have been more significant terrorist attacks in the USA since
9/11. While there have been a few isolated terrorist incidents around
the world, there is no evidence that any of these are coordinated
attacks with a central command and control.
I suspect that what was Al Qaeda, Bin Laden in power in Afganistan was
pretty well wiped up in recent years. What you now have is some
isolated terrorist cells run by fundamentalist Islamist. Al Qaeda is a
spent force, but the Bush administration will still claim they exist to
make good mileage out of Bush's one strength with voters, that he is
tough on terrorism.
As you might know, there has been some threats against Denmark,
because we have soldiers in Iraq. Some of those threats were
actually from the top of Al Qaeda. But normally they don't give
any warning at all, when they plan and execute a terror attack (like the 911-attack). So it looks like they might not be *able*
to plan and execute a terror attack in Denmark. Instead they try
to "inspire" independent cells of fanatics to do it on their own.
Of course this doesn't mean there is no danger, but if Al Qaeda
is in fact weakened this way, they are probably not able to use wmd's at all (?)
