In Jordan, the solution is different. Jordanians were very angry at the November 9th al Qaeda suicide bombings in Jordan. The attacks killed mostly Jordanians and other Arabs. Jordan, with hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Sunni Arabs in residence, and even more Palestinians, had been one of the few Arab nations left where most of the people approved of al Qaeda. No more. Jordanians now want revenge, and al Qaeda appears to realize this. A week after the attacks, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the Jordanian who heads al Qaeda operations in Iraq, tried to persuade everyone that the attacks were actually carried out by the CIA and Mossad (Israels CIA). Nobody in Jordan believed him, and this month, a team of Jordanian counter-terrorism commandoes was dispatched to Iraq. These Jordanian special operations troops have apparently operated inside Iraq before, but it is believed that this time their mission may have more to do with Zarqawi, and those directly for the November 9th attacks. | 	  oops, ole Zarqawi may be in deep doodoo now
 
what a shame 
 
 
 
 
things seem to be going downhill for al Qaeda

One American counter-terrorism strategy is working. Al Qaeda seems to be in some disarray. The group seems to be losing support in much of the Moslem world, and particularly among Arabs. Reportedly, most volunteers for Al Qaeda are now non-Arab Moslems, often from Central Asia.

Word is trickling back from Iraq, through official and unofficial channels, that "opiates" (likely of Afghan origin) may be showing up in dead Iraqi insurgents.
 
 
If insurgents are getting "juiced" to commit horrific, suicidal acts -- largely condemned by the Koran -- what would adherents to so-called Radical Islam make of it? What would fence-sitters who count themselves Islamic fundamentalists say? Is that even vaguely Islamic? The word should spread, if these reports are true.
