<regardless of what one thinks about the pre-war connections between Iraq and al Qaida, there is no doubt at all that al Qaida is active in Iraq today and is a key component of the forces we are fighting> So the logic of our presence in Iraq is to fight the terrorists that came after our invasion to fight us in Iraq -- well then we should get on with invading every country in the region and boosting the number of people we can call terrorists willing to die to get rid of us there as well. The goal of sane people is not to give a big boost to terrorist recruitment efforts so we can have more people to kill. This would not be called a war on terror -- it would be called a war to spread terrorism all over the place and to help swell the ranks of terrorists so we have more people to kill. As for Iraq, other than the lunatic fringe, few people in the US still try to claim that the fighting in Iraq is primarily due to terrorists -- except for the lunatic fringe most people accept that the violence is sectarian in nature with all the hallmarks of civil war. Once again terrorism is little more than a ruse to drum up support for our invasion and military occupation of Iraq. Iraq is not the war on terror -- Iraq is the war to help the terrorists.
