Two long years in Iraq and still terrorists lurk Pierre M. Atlas With last Thursday's bombings in London, we've once again seen the work of radical Islamists eager to murder in the name of God. Followers of this nihilistic jihadist ideology are the true enemy in the so-called "war on terror." It was never Saddam Hussein and his secular totalitarian regime. This enemy reared its head numerous times before Sept. 11, 2001, and will continue to menace innocents well after July 7, 2005. We saw it in New York City in 1993, at the Khobar Towers in 1996, in Luxor in 1997, in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, and off the shores of Yemen in 2000. Since 9/11, we've seen it in Bali, Casablanca, Karachi, Mombassa, Riyadh, Istanbul, Madrid and now London. Many of these attacks occurred after our invasion of Iraq. Only after we toppled Saddam Hussein did we see suicide terrorism on Iraqi soil. A few weeks ago, when President Bush gave his speech before a stoic audience of airborne troops at Fort Bragg, N.C., he repeated half a dozen times that we are in Iraq because of 9/11. But almost three years after the administration first began its weak attempts at such linkage, Bush's words are finally ringing hollow for the majority of Americans. Now perhaps we will be told that we are in Iraq because of Britain's 7/7. ..more in a red state publication indystar.com
