are you kidding? "there weren't before" - before when, the Bronze Age? before al queda, there were Shining Path, the Tamil Tigers, the Weatherman, the Red Brigade, the Wobblies, thr PLO, the IRA, the Basques etc etc on back throughout history. there has never been a time when human beings weren't committing violence against innocent people for political purposes.
Venarial is correct - the "war on terror" can never be "won".
