With my last two articles on this incredible conflict, the 3rd Global War, I thought that these will be my last word on the subject.  The more I thought about the articles, the more convinced I became that they were not adequate enough for a basic study of the recent mass madness of our so called civilized world.  The last article concentrated on America's response to the declaration of war against it and Al-Qaeda's conduct which has been raging for almost a decade.  Today I am going to talk about the other major belligerent in this conflict, Al-Qaeda.  Al-Qaeda is a multi-national organization with members from numerous countries and with a worldwide presence.  It was organized by Osama bin-Laden after the hurried exit of the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, the organization gathered hard core individuals who were later on referred to as the afghan Arabs, which swelled to include others from different nationalities who share the idea and the vision of the leader.  The organizations objectives are, world domination and the establishment of a new Islamic Caliphate based on their own understanding of Islam and their own interpretation of its laws.  We still need to know a lot more about the orginization, who is behind it, its financial support and its methods.  It is unquestionably a very strong organization and a very dangerous adversary and it has actually grown much stronger after 9/11, because of the America's actions or rather inactions against it, but I am going to start this update with few words on the birth place and the home of Al-Qaeda, Afghanistan.
