Unravelling Al Qaeda

Austin Bay Blog comments on the Al Qaeda's information warfare loss by noting that it's also becoming a physical loss. Austin Bay forsees an attack of some sort, be it chemical or nuclear/radiological in nature, as a possibility based on the possible terrorist population in Iraq. Fighting and defeating Al Qaeda in the Middle East was seen as essential to ensure American power and safety according to Austin Bay. This action created an alternative to terrorists and weapons of mass destruction for Americans. Destruction was brought to Al Qaeda's home land because the Arab-Muslim war was an intra-Muslim issue. Austin Bay sees that issue as something that was utilized by the Al Qaeda defeat on home turf. Lots of close calls when it comes to terrorist attacks are seen to be existent in our recent history after 9-11 by Austin Bay. The offensive strategy against Al Qaeda and the "military-legal" approach are seen to be most effective in dealing with terrorist issues over just the "legal" approach. Austin Bay Blog emphasizes that its long standing viewpoint on these foreign relation issues is slowly starting to be seen by TNR.

I believe that evidence supports Austin Bay's take on the matter of foreign relation and terrorist attacks against the United States. At the same time the exact mechanisms were not specific enough to determine if these policies are fully effective because of the lack of detail on the different approaches or what exactly it is that Austin Bay supports about the "military-legal" approach. It is described as using not just legal but also military force to protect Americans but the exact use of force is not fully explained which leaves room for possible fault.
