there wouldn't be so many terrorists wanting to strike at Westerner - if Iraq would not have b een crushed. I know that jihaddism was growing before, but it grew at much slower pace. AL has the same argument like you: that it is good to have terrorist's attemntion fixated to Iraq. But that is a complete nonstarter. first it is not that terrorists are only being active in Iraq: terrorist activity thorughout the West has massively increased, not decreased. second, withiout the war in Iraq there wouldn't be so many terrorists than there are today. Although some of them get killed, the recruit more young man in a given time than the loose in fighting. You are totally offtracks here, and additonally ignore the opinion of all 16 intel sevices of the US who also reported a grow, not a fall, in terror activity worldwide.

With every day you stay there, you actively assist in creating more terrorists. By your sheer presence. It is so very, very stupid. Like cutting heads off a hydra. but for each head falling, two new ones are raising. So - who is winning this: the sword-swinging hero, or the hydra?

It all is a giant miscalculation so far.
