I take it you mean 'unlinked.'
The phrase 'war on terror,' was ridiculous from the onset. Al Qaida is a
criminal organisation, no more legitimate than the Mafia. The phrase, although whipping up a lot of redneck support domestically, confers a status on Al Qaida that ultimately begins to legitimise its actions.
They've got very long memories in the Middle East, they still talk about the crusades as if it were yesterday. The West has a very long tradition of warfare and exploitation with the Arab world, and America, (in Arab eyes at least,) is part of that tradition. So it doesn't really matter that the last war
we fought, along with the French, while America provided logistical support, was in Libya.
