the Invasion of Iraq hasn't helped to diminish the terrorist threat we face, but to claim it Caused it in the first place is simplistic nonsense
Has anyone actually claimed this (in this thread at least)?
Al Qa'eda have been attacking the US for years (the first WTC bombing in ?1993, and the bombings at US Embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam). The UK didn't seem to feature on their radar (not enough to attack us, at least), until our staunch and unilateral (virtually) support for Dubya's invasion of Iraq which seemed to change all that...strange really...
