Can you show that Iraq has not created more terrorists than existed before? Can you show that terrorists who enter Iraq do not leave to go back to their homes and recruit or train others?

And can you not show that Muslims, upon seeing terrorist attacks committed against fellow muslims, rather than just against "infidel" westerners, might be decreasing their sympathy for the cause of the Islamo-Fascists??

Regardless of the merit of overthrowing Saddam, it has brought the reality of terrorist to the Muslim world in a very noticable manner. The bombing of the Jordanian Hotel last year was certainly an epiphany for many Arabs.

Can you claim that Al Qaeda has made itself popular in today's Iraq? Has it made itself popular with the Kurds, the Shia, even with the Sunni? Have you looked at the Iraqi polls, or seen the reports of "red-on-red" fighting in Anbar?
