By fighting in Iraq we simply generate many new terrorists there (aka Resistance fighters) who would never have fought us had we not invaded.

I agree.

Let's imagine ourselves in their shoes: Had Iraq invaded America and done the things to us that we've done to them, you, me, Dale, Tim, all of us would become "terrorists." (Of course, we would call ourselves Freedom Fighters.)

We would not blow up our fellow countrymen, because we do not (yet, anyway) have the historical sectarian hatreds that the Sunnis and Shi'ites have, but we would attack the Iraqi military with every means we had.

Back to reality, these new Iraqi "terrorists" we've created don't even include the true ideological jihadis who were committed to the cause before the invasion.
