The truth is..
The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US."

Al Qaeda is More of a U.S. Propaganda Campaign than a Real Organization. Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook wrote: Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.
Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Senate that the war on terror is "a mythical historical narrative". And see this Los Angeles Times Article, reviewing a BBC documentary entitled "The Power of Nightmares", which shows that the threat from Al Qaeda has been vastly overblown (and see this article on the people within the U.S. who are behind the hype).
Not only has the U.S. government hyped Al Qaeda, but it has issued numerous fake terror alerts to scare people. There is a word for intentionally creating fear in order to manipulate opinion for political ends: terrorism.
Note: I had originally started this essay with the following quote:
"Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook says: The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US."
However, I did a little digging, and discovered that the quote was misattributed to Cook. It was actually made by former French intelligence and military officer Pierre-Henri Bunel in this speech.
All propoganda !
the western imperial forces lump anyone fighting occupation in with AQ.
Ohhhh dear me
I think there are people fighting the western forces in afghanistan; pakistan, Iraq etc..
I don't believe that the same organisations or people had anything to do with 9/11, madrid, 7/7 etc.
Please read my posting on Operation Gladio and connect the dots.
So you are saying that there is no terrorism and USA is orchestrating all these terrorist strikes in nearly half of the world?
Boy do you over-estimate America...

What else is new anyway ... the same the world over, on a smaller or bigger scale. Humanity has lost its humanity.
Brit...
But wars have been started; lives lost; children orphaned etc in the name of 'fighting the war on terrorism'.
Our leaders have lied to us. This is all relevant though I take your point of this all being a means to an end.
Whether Al-Qaida exists or does not is irrelevant. Governments need a "bogey man" for the public to focus on and identify with.
Al-Qaida will go and another will take its place.
It is all the means to an end usually..
