Creating the magnet isnt awful if you have a plan. Al quaeda is organic and will grow anywhere and everywhere certain conditions exist, whether its iraq or pakistan or saudi. What drives me nuts about nadines post is the utter inablity to admit that if saddam was still in power (not good), there would be no al quaeda in iraq. What you are saying is not a big deal.

"Every "cause" needs a magnet to draw in recruits. Iraq is that magnet -- one enormous giant magnet to recruit idealistic young men and women ready to die for a "cause", and what a cause we gave them."

It's like the Spanish Civil War for Muslims. I wonder if it will spawn a Muslim Hemingway?
