If your point is to say that the war in Iraq increases terrorism, then I'm in agreement with you.

One could argue that winning in Iraq will send a message to the Islamists that resistance is futile, but winning in Iraq is all but impossible. It's going to take years, and billions of dollars. Take a look at Bosnia. They don't have near the obstacles that exist in Iraq, and we're still there.

Bush has simply flown off the handle with this war in Iraq. It was poorly planned. The after war plan was not even begun until after the war was started.

If they would have thought it through they would have taken another tack on how to deal with terrorism. Simply trying to change the address of Al Qaeda from Afghanistan to Iraq was a blunder of major proportions.
