Mini-wars, Large impact:Terrorism

With increasing troops in Afghanistan, the U.S. military presence in Iraq and an overall increase in spending since the Bush administrations Declaration of a "War on Terror", one would think Al-Queda was on the verge of collapse. However, despite successful attempts in eradicating top Al-Queda leaders, the group has shown increasing reliance on individuals who believe in its ideology. Recruiting grounds such as Yemen and Somalia are countries of interest. These mini fronts, will cause even more off a stretch on the part of the US military, and are much more difficult for counterterrorism experts to combat.
