Not correct, most violence is internal, and even more is directed at Iraqs new government from it's own population. Like I said before, Iraq is going to cause Iraq to fail.

Because that is not happening.
Quote:Moreover, what they want now more than anything else is another international staging base, as they had in Afghanistan. Iraq, with its oil money, geo-centric location in the Persian Gulf, and potential for perennial, internal chaos and conflict, is a perfect match. Al Qaeda would flourish in an Iraq abandoned by the West.
Our presence has helped terrorist organizations ranks recruit by occupying Iraq. More and more Iraqis have joined to help get us out of their country. Previous to our invasion, Saddam did not like Binny, and had no part of him, as he stood for something Iraqis didn't have, "freedom", or at least a sick and twisted, muslim version of it. Read the article I posted in the Ron Paul thread. If the middle east was united and parked themselves in Ohio, and was policing the US after decades of telling us what to do, and setting up state dictatorships, we'd be up in arms against them too. But let me guess? It's ok, because they are muslim scum, and deserve to die? amirite?!?
