sulli's Journal: From JFMiller, an interesting article re Iraq

War in Iraq has radicalized fighters, turning them into terrorists who kill civilians.

Note: This journal should be open to all to comment.

That the Iraq theater has been a GOOD decision for the war on terror?

This was obvious and predictible from the start. NOBODY should be surprised by these studies, and if you are, then you haven't been paying attention.

Good for recruitment- yes- but for the war overall? What did the US invading Iraq give them? Lots of new recruits- and a useless place to spend most of those new resources in attacks on people that should have been in the Nation of Islam to begin with.

Flypaper!

We're fighting them[#] over there[*] so that we don't have to fight them over here!

[*] "There" = Iraq, Madrid, London, heck, we'll throw in NYC and LA if we have to. But Kansas and Idaho are safe, right? Right?

[#] "Them" = There's a finite supply of terrorists in the world. No? Okay, but at least we're killing them faster than they're being created. No?? Um...

Thanks

Thanks for the post.

It is my belief that the US has been creating it's own problems for quite a while. I'm was glad to see that other are finally starting to see this as well.
