See that's my problem with the previously made statement. People think that the terrorists wouldn't hate us if we didn't invade Iraq. They're full of it. Al-Queda doesn't really need to use propaganda to get other radicals to want to kill us. And to clarify, we are talking terrorists, not just people rising up because we invaded their country. That's not terrorism unless they are kidnapping citizens and lopping their heads off, or killing their own people in markets and such (I'd like to believe that not all insurgents do that but I could be wrong). That is not what I said.

I said that it helps A-Q, not that it is why A-Q exists or that A-Q wouldn't have the ability to recruit anyone if we had left Iraq alone. Furthermore, I noted that the anger caused in that part of the world by our invasion was not, in and of itself, reason to call off the invasion.

It helps if you read what I type. Or not, since you seem to enjoy attacking the strawmen you create.
