The second quarter of 2004 will be dominated by four themes. The first will be the strike and counterstrike activity between al Qaeda and the United States. The second will be the intensifying political struggle in the United States as the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush fights for its life. The third will be the re-intensification of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the fourth will be growing global awareness of the increasing weakness of China’s economy — coupled with readjustments in Beijing’s political plans.

As Stratfor predicted, al Qaeda has launched an offensive in the wake of the Iraq war. Thus far, it has fallen far short of the most extreme possibilities — a strike in the United States that is equivalent to or greater than the Sept. 11 attacks. Recent actions have reaffirmed that al Qaeda continues to operate, but have not yet established that the network retains its reach and striking power. We suspect that its striking power has been limited, but its reach still might be substantial. Further operations are likely: We see Latin America in particular and, to a lesser extent, Southeast Asia as ripe for attack. [more]
