As an aside, is there any other group rising up to take the place of Al Qaida? Remember, there were several attacks they pulled off before 9/11.

I'm sure they're weakened, but they're not dead. The 9/11 attacks may have murdered a lot of Americans, but it failed to cause the intended revolution in the Muslim world (according to the late reporter Robert Novak.) And Al Qaida is probably factionalized. Still, they can still do damage, such as bomb attacks on places that don't prepare for it.
