While I agree that we're now distracted from other things, I don't think the Iraq war was intentionally to be used as a distraction from these things. These things have only come up since the Iraq war started.

Oh I don't know, I guess the terrorism on its own people is a good place to start.

Same with the recent attacks by AQ in Africa...how were they hurting us? They weren't, but we helped anyway.

"terrorism on his own people" is not terrorism as defined on the war on terror.

Iraq carried out no terror attacks against the US.. hell, against ANY nation.

The war was based upon Iraq being a threat by developing WMDs... only after WMDs weren't found did terror EVER come up.

Terrorism has been and always will be an issue. How much of an issue is up for debate.
Pretty interesting when international terrorism has only been an issue for ~20-30 years. But obviously "it has been and always be an issue"
