Who Are the Real Terrorists?

AlterNet: Who Are the Real Terrorists?: "Fallows' Atlantic Monthly article argues that the war in Iraq has greatly hampered Bush's war on terror: 'The war in Iraq advanced the jihadist cause because it generates a steady supply of Islamic victims, or martyrs; because it seems to prove Osama bin Laden's contention that America lusts to occupy Islam's sacred sites, abuse Muslim people, and steal Muslim resources; and because it raises the tantalizing possibility that humble Muslim insurgents, with cheap, primitive weapons, can once more hobble and ultimately destroy a superpower...' Nonetheless, Bush stubbornly defends the occupation: 'We leave before the mission is done, the terrorists will follow us here.'"
