You appear to be under the misapprehension that they are in some way linked
.... before jumping down my thought it may be worth remembering that in Iraq
a progressive (for the region) secular leader was overthrown with the result
that the religious fanatics are now in a position to take control. You may
also care to remember that the attacks on the west began in quantity a
considerable time before Iraq and it is also worth remembering that Saddam
was an implacable enemy of the current Saudi backed terrorism.

Not that any of this justifies the invasion of Iraq, they are though two
entirely different subjects.

The only reason that the UK has so far avoided 911/Bali/Somali style attacks
is that the UK was and remains a safe haven for muslim terrorists, yet
another law has only just been passed making muslims a protected group. The
fact that the UK is now under attack simply illustrates that 30 years of
appeasment hasn't worked and the muslims now feel strong enough to attack
with impunity.

Still that's all by the by ... shouldn't be posted here, I shall return to
my usual haunts on the political newsgroups.
