If we break it, they will come

Field of Dreams has never been so applicable as it has been since the invasion of Iraq. While Bush claimed that we invaded Iraq so we can 'fight them there, so we don't have to fight them here', we really went there to train those who will come over here (via Amman). The terrorist attacks by Iraqi trained terrorists in Jordan last week begun the exporting of terrorism that Bush has claimed to stop. We invaded Iraq and gave terrorists a new haven (after we destroyed their other one by invading Afghanistan). We broke it, we own the responsibility for what comes out of it (and the violence occuring within Iraq). What we have done in Iraq, as the critics of the war have pointed out, is create a new staging ground for terrorists, as well as a new raison d'etre. Where there wasn't much reason to hate America in Iraq (apart from the sanctions, but much of that blame could be placed upon Saddam), now we have created a conflict which can be spun as an American war against a Muslim country, and it has. Now not only do we have to fight against the terrorists, whom we were attacked by, we also have to fight those who oppose our occupation of a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. The longer we stay in Iraq, the longer we feed the two groups of people who hate us.
