intruded into the affairs of their sovereign part of the world. It seems to 
me that they are using the excuse of our Iraq invasion to prove that to 
potential recruits. So, yes, I believe that through the invasion the 
president has incited them and has given them a strong recruitment tool. >>


Gee, wasn't the "ignore him and he'll just kill people over there and leave 
us alone" the arguement that kept us from stepping on Hitler before he had 
taken most of Europe??? At what point do we recognize we are citizens of the 
world, not just the US and at what point do we realize that allowing the 
unchecked 
development of power and weapons of a madman will eventual bring a FAR more 
powerful enemy down on us.
