Transnational terrorism after the Iraq war Net effect
Al-Qaeda rhetoric highlights the alleged historical humiliation of Islam at the hands of the Judeo-Christian West, and contemplates no truce with the West until the US has been tamed by fatalities in the millions. Drawing down American military deployments in Saudi Arabia and constructive US involvement in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict alone are not likely deter al-Qaeda from seeking the debilitation of the US. This objective continues to take the form of an absolute religious imperative. The May 2003 al Zawahiri tape declares that ‘the crusaders and the Jews only understand the language of murder, bloodshed […] and of the burning towers’. Al-Qaeda is unsusceptible to placation through political compromise or conflict resolution.
