I'm one of the silent majority thinking that way too.

I don't think there really is a central directing organization called
al-Qaeda anymore than there was an anarchist international at the turn
of the last century -- it's an idea and an inspiration for scattered,
loosely coordinated groups of religious fundamentalists, mostly Sunni.
Bin Laden's group used to run training camps and provide funding and
influenced the Taliban government, but it's a band of fugitives now.
