NO...he SPURRED it. Do you really think the Madrid bombings or the London bombings by Middle Class kids would have ocurred if we hadn't invaded Iraq?

You talk about the "Jihadists" as if they are some unified centralized force that can be defeated militarily.

All this stuff about "diverting" resources and defending this or that is all just drivel.

Those kids in England weren't trying to defend their "territory". They were trying to defend their identity, as Muslims.

If the U.S Government suddenly said that every state had to have at least 50 abortion clinics and Gay Marriage you'd see a whole NEW group of Jihadists in our OWN country. Only this time they'd be Christians.
