It seems that the governments of most countries are against Al Qaeda & Taliban, but the population of the selfsame countries, that is quite a different issue, at least in some cases. There might conceivably be civil war within several countries.

When they bombed us, because of what our beloved dictator was doing, they planned for a 3-day bombing, and it lasted 78 days instead, with a lot of blunders (they hit, to name a few, a refugee convoy, a train full of passengers, a pedestrian bridge with lots of people on it, and the Chinese embassy, accidentally, three times).

There's no proclaimed deadline this time, so I don't know what to multiply with 26.
