American Entropy: Iraq and terror

Iraq and terror

Remember how we went to war on Iraq due to an incorrect suspision that they had connections to al Qaeda and international terrorism? Sure we all do, that's why it's kind of confusing when you hear that our Secretary of Defense denies links with Iraq and the recent terror (when terror is one of the reasons why we went to war on Iraq).

A lot of people think like this, and I agree, mostly. But the war on Iraq has

- distracted from the real fight against international terrorism.
- provided a real combat training-ground for terrorists.
- provided a wealth of explosives to terrorists.
- provided proof to claims made by UBL that the U.S. is attacking Islam; increasing recruitment.

So sure, the terror in London and Egypt wasn't directly connected to Iraq, probably. But it is certainly all part of the same cog and it wasn't that way until after 2003.
