I've Been Thinking:

It's all a game of Mass Psychology.

The United States targeted al Zarqawi proving that it might take time but the long arm of US justice will track down murdering terrorists, terrorist organizers and terrorist leaders. This is a huge boost in US morale, especially for soldiers who daily confront a faceless enemy called TERROR.

And now a new video surfaces of Dr. Zawahiri, Al Qaeda's Number Two.
Remember, this is all about Mass Psychology.

It does not matter if the video is new or old. The video is not made for us, it is directed at al Qaeda adherents and potential recruits. It gives al Qaeda members around the world a sense that, even now, they are safe and the movement lives on.
The video was released to say to al Qaeda supporters that the US really cannot get to most of us. That with all the resources in the world the US wastes huge amounts of time and money chasing only a few. And when the United States finally locates someone, they cowardly shoot two faceless missiles from planes.

That is the message that al Qaeda wants their members to have, the message they want to spread around the Muslim world.
Whatever the West thinks about this video - is totally irrelevant.
