Iraq: The Perfect War
WTF, Professor? It is the perfect war, at least for al-Qaeda. Why?
1–a poster event for recruitment into extreme Islam.
2–It is viewed as an East-west conflict feeding the flames of extremism
3–It puts non-Muslims in the heartland of Islam
4–Infidels in the Holy Cities of Islam
This war could not have done anymore to increase the influence of al-Qaeda if it had tried. Regardless of the spin, the world is NOT safer because of the invasion of Iraq. You know it and they know it. It continues because it is good business.
