Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "However, terrorism does not just spontaneously ignite without having "fuel" to feed the flames. And that fuel is the social and political hopelessness that currently exists within the Middle East under the existing repressive and corrupt governments there."

If the Iraq invasion hadn't resulted in a massive increase in terrorism attacks against Americans, your argument would make more sense.

Just think about it. If Iraq had been converted into a friendly, democratic country, Bush would be lookin' like a genius right now. Instead, the fires of terrorism not only continue to burn, but US troops (okay, mostly Iraqi civilians) are killed by them on a weekly basis.
