CAR BOMBINGS? CIVIL UNREST? ASSASSINATIONS? LET'S BLAME AL-QAEDA!

Oooh, yes. I just love how our "intelligence" agencies piecemeal things together these days.

Instead of relying on hard evidence, concrete proof, and whatnot, it seems as though everything and everyone we seek to blame for one attack after another (even though we don't have any direct "links" to the source) is based on one thing:

AL-QAEDA.

Yes, that seems to be the "catch-phrase" of the 21st century here.

Instead of the dog eating your homework, our kids can blame Al-Qaeda!

Truly people, I didn't really know that this terrorist organization had its claws into everything--after the alleged drubbing we gave it in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I didn't really know it could reach so far deep into Pakistan and assassinate Pakistan's former minister Benizar Bhutto.

Just like that! Do we have actual hard evidence that Al-Qaeda played a direct hand in this terrible event, or are we just overreaching again--like always?

Because until we find out who was really behind the attacks, blaming one terrorist organization for the ills of the world seems a little childish these days.

Especially since we don't have any reliable intelligence. (To put it rather loosely here.)
