Somewhere I wrote the biggest mistake OBL has made, to date, was to take on the saudi ruling family. They now will destroy him if possible only because he directly threatens their rule. The saudi ruling family could give a shit less if OBL screws with anyone else, even their own people.
Same with Pakistan, they have capitulated and help the American cause only for two reasons, money and because OBL directly threatens president M’s rule (and life).
The other countries will not help stamp out terrorism because OBL has not threatened their dictatorships, yet. If and only if that happens do I foresee any assistance from these other rouge nations.

Sounds like, IMHO, that what we are really seeing is an insurgency within Islam where those that want to establish rule according to their beliefs are doing whatever is necessary to overthrow those currently in power. Their organization is not unlike a classic uw operation where the terrorist organizations (overt guerrilla arm) are taking the fight directly to target sets, the underground folks are doing the financing/intell/other ops normally associated with covert underground ops not suitable for discussion here; and the auxillary (both witting and unwitting) are providing support and are operating supporting systems.
Operations against the non-islamic targets are providing them with status and gaining support for their cause when they are overtly attacked while simultaneously demonstrating that the current Islamic governments cannot defend the faith and are flawed. They are in no rush and will move in and eventually take over the corrupted governments of those Islamic states that fail to see the error of their ways. This is all being orchestrated by a government (albeit a loosely confederated one from several nations) in exile so that no one nation state provides a suitable target for retaliation. An oversimplification, but something to think about.
