Superpower Teamwork

Al Qaeda for the first time have threatened Chinese interests, this is in response to the unrest in the Western xinjiang region of China. The uighurs have Elicited a lot of sympathy in the Muslim world for the conditions that they live in, they are heavily discriminated against  in the workplace, and their religious practice’s barely tolerated. Security sources report Electronic Jihadist chatter looking for ways to strike at the Chinese. The Russians have their own problems with Islamists because of Chechnya, Now I may be naive in suggesting this but with the three world "superpowers" in conflict with Al Qaeda, could this not be a perfect opportunity for working together, and with one massive campaign against the terrorists wherever they can be found finally put an end to this group. The US have almost 300,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, with a contribution like that from the Russians and Chinese it would all be over in a week. I realise that a million reasons can be found why this cant happen. But I bet there isn’t one reason out of them all that makes any sense to the common man.
