-- It is possible the U.S.-led war on terror has created new enemies of Western governments and societies by splintering al Qaeda, according to counterterrorism experts.

Some U.S. government officials go so far as to say that even if Islamic fundamentalists are eventually found responsible for the train bombings in Spain last week, the effort to identify one particular group may be futile.


Yes, current wisdom suggests that the Iraqi war has acted as a catalyst for an increase in the numbers of terrorist groups in the world. Even Rumsfeld said this weekend that it appears divergent terrorist groups are working more closely together.

Given your past views, I don't suspect you believe many of these theories are true......although you may be more willing to entertain the possibility that they are true.

Prior to the war, did it ever occur to you that this eventuality might result from our intervention in Iraq......or did you think it highly unlikely? There is no cleverness behind this question.........I am genuinely interested in what your mindset was at that time.
