Iraq wasn't about terrorism. Saddam was a secular bastard. He and Osama hated each other. As long as Saddam was in control, religious fundamentalist were persecuted in Iraq.
Now he's gone, Iraq is swarming with al Quaida. Funny, isn't it? *L*

And ya wanna know why other counties aren't very much into aiding the US there? I'll tell ya: As long as the US are occupied in Iraq, it's unlikely they'll cause trouble elsewhere. And, be assured, this will last as long as the current administration continues. Until you'll manage to elect a somewhat more trustworthy administration, the opposition will remain, or rather increase.

Terrorism in Iraq is mostly homegrown - there're terrorist organizations that have operated since the 1970s and worked to replace Saddam's secular dictatorship with their religious dictatorship; and now they're on the Governing Council, although they're still terrorizing women who go out unaccompanied by men or go out in jeans.

Andrew Sullivan is now advancing the the theory that Iraq will draw many terrorists so the USA will have an easy time tracking and killing/catching all. Now that is funny.

it works with sugar and wasps - why shouldn't it work with Iraq and terorists. *LOL*

But al Quaida is contained there too, only part of it of course.
