Iraq and terrorism

It is becoming clearer by the day that Iraq was (and is) a major factor in the conversion of young extremists to terrorism, despite efforts by the government to draw attention to other factors.

In that context more bad news is to follow. Further Abu Ghraib photos and video are about to be published, said to be considerably worse than those previously released. The Pentagon are currently trying to prevent them being published, but they are being challenged in court by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who think the public should be allowed to see them.

Ok, right. Apart that Al-Qaeda and the muslims themselves declare honestly that their final objetive is imposing the muslim religion and we should not forget that USA was attacked while it was helping the muslims in Kosovo (the first failed attempt to the Twin Towers and later on the successful one that was organized still during Clinton administration and executed during Bush). Apart from that there is another interesting point. I am technically against many things, you are against the Iraqi war and so forth. Yet, we go and vote or wrote on a blog and not blow up ourselves, especially not after being born in UK, having children and so forth. Gosh, there must be something very strange with these muslims... don't you think?
