The key role of foreign fighters in suicide attacks is one reason many senior military officials, including the top U.S. general in the Middle East, tend to view the war in Iraq as slowly developing into an international struggle against militant Islam.

It always was such. Militant Islam is both a result and an instrument of tyranny. The only successful alternative to tyranny is democracy.

Tyranny can only be defeated in its home place.

Look at recent history and a map and it's obvious why the US went to Iraq to fight tyranny in the Middle East.

Since militant Islamists correctly see democracy as a mortal threat to their world view and projects, and since there is a good possibility Iraq may become democratic, they will attack Iraqis in every possible way.

Since most Iraqis are in favour of democracy militant Islamists will visit punishment terrorism upon them. (Democratic Iraqis are a far greater threat to miltant Islam than is the United States).

A democratic Iraq is a huge threat to the tyrannical, militant Islamic regimes of Iran and Saudi Arabia and is a far greater threat to them than the secular tyrannical regimes of Saddam Hussein and Assad.

Therefore these regimes will continue to send terrorists to Iraq until Iraq is strong enough to meet them at its borders and kill them.

Everyone in the Middle East, (except some Western reporters), understands this.
