Since the war in Iraq has created more terrorists than it destroyed...
---

Then there's the question of how many "terrorists" there'd now be if we did nothing to stop Osama & Co from making good on their plan to overthrow "corrupt" Islamic governments (USA-affiliated governments) such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.

The goal of the 911 attack was to provoke the USA to finally respond militarily to a terrorist attack, which Osama would construe as a crusade against all of Islam, and thereby galvanize the radical Islamic forces of the world to overthrow "corrupt" Islamic governments, which in turn would bring the ultimate goal of restoring the Caliphate one giant step closer to reality (in Osama's mind).

So far, no USA-affiliated Islamic governments have been toppled. To that extent we have thwarted the Allahmaniacs. To that extent we are winning.

created more terrorists ?

i wonder... do we assume they didn't believe in dying to get all those virgins before Iraq? or is this zero sum terrorists... perhaps the numbers would have been as great or greater if no Iraq.. maybe we would have had huge numbers of them now running around the world, building more splinter groups and placing bombs.

perhaps we are cleaning the swamp of new recruits to terror.
