  1. I don't know what kind of end you expected. But al Qeada is quite decimated. They're substantially weaker and have diminished support and popularity in the middle east, where they're more concerned with getting rid of their autocrats than jihad against the west.

  2. 23:00 In just 9 years al Qeada has become remarkably irrelevant. Bin Laden and most of his leutenants are dead, and arabs are currently more concerned with elections and ousting tyrants than any kind of violent jihad.

  3. @clockworkscott The Lancet estimate is way off. They must have counted every death. In a period of 8 years and 70 is the life expectancy then about 2 million peope died. If there were enough terrist bombings to kill 100 Iraqis a week, then that's about 5000 a year and 40,000 over the 8 year period.
