No surprise here. The US invasion of Iraq has not made the world any safer.

U.S. report says Iraq war has fueled terror threat

Interesting how no Bush lover in the pro-war crowd has expressed any reservations about this report. Perhaps it's because they know its truth is beyond reproach.
Yes, the truth does hurt.

Yes, I don't really doubt that it has probably made more terrorists. The whole idea of using large amounts of violence against other violence really doesn't make as much sense to me as it seems to for others. Of course, stopping terrorism was never the intent of this war, so it hardly needs to be said that it was a failure in that regard.
"stopping terrorism never was the intent ..."
True. But Bush and his warmongering supporters continue to promote the myth as if it was Divinely ordained Gospel Truth.

Bush will be remembered as worst US President
There should certainly be no doubt by now that the US has done a great job of creating a world full of terrorists. This has been accomplished by three or four of the stupedist people at the top of the American administration. Bush is certainly a very stupid and ignorant man who desire it appears is to distable the world and he is well on his way. The recent poll in the US about wheather the Americans believe or disbelieve that terror has increased since 9/11 came back with the result that only 26 percent of Americans think that it has. with somethink like 14 percent not knowing and the remaining 60 percent thinking that it has been reduced. These people have to be the most ignorant asses and the same people who supported Bush in the election. These right wing morons listen to Bush's propaganda about these wars being some kind of godly mission and go to church and pray for more slaughter.

ps. My blood pressure must reach something like 500psi when I see Bush on TV waving a dainty hand at his admirers.

Of course its a rallying point for terrorists. I don't think this was ever about making the world safer. Its about making us safer. As lonf as were killing terrorists there, and not here in my backyard in Colorado, it is fine by me.
I bet that post should go over well here in these forums...
This report could have been about Afghanistan had the United States not invaded Iraq because the Jihadists would have come to Afghanistan to battle the United States Military..
The bigger news story should have been that the U.S. government finally knows what the rest of the world knew before this war started.
I have to shake my head at the things I hear come out of the average american's citizen's mouth to justify their interference in the affairs of other nations. Like it is some God-given right of theirs. The need of the American powers that be to spread their version of Democracy around the world parallels the need of the Islamic extremist to spread their version of Islam around the world. Neither one sees that they don't have the right to impose their will beyond their borders.

What do you all suppose the US should do? Send gold embossed invitations to the bastards that blew their fellow countrymen all to Hell when those planes hit the towers?
Or are you followers of the black helicopter thinking that Bush masterminded the attacks?
Surely you have all learned about how the world had to pitch together to squash Hitler. The problem is not the US invasion, but the lack of support the rest of the world has shown for the US troops.

Why do you think "the rest of the world" has shown little support... (and let me correct you here... its not against the U.S. troops..they are just following orders - Its U.S. foreign policy) Why do you think the rest of the world is criticizing the actions of United States... Could they be wrong. Consensus is????
As for Hitler... Puleeeaze.. the U.S. was the last country to join the fight against Hitler so really what can Americans tell the rest of the world about the lessons learned there.
As sad as the attacks against the Twin towers were... the sympathy of the world ends when Americans forget that many of its foreign policies have also cost many innocent human beings their lives... Iran/Contra, Viet Nam, etc....Remember thoses innocents as well!!
The attacks will not stop unless the attackers are stopped. If Canada had been attacked, you wouldn't (I hope) be suggesting they should lay down and roll over.
I have not forgotten any innocents..I guess I am not the "Rest of the world" and i know many Canadians who are not.
What actually US policies with respect to the ME are you referring to, specifically? I'm not a doubting Thomas, just interested in what yer readin and who's writing it.
