The Face of Terror -

David Smith-Ferri writes that "Terrorism isn't a cultural mindset inculcated from youth, but a strategy borne of, and sustained by, unjust conditions." Couldn't agree more. Our actions in Iraq has increased the violence and swelled the ranks of the "terrorists". It has also brought Iraq to the brink of civil war. We must step back and look at Iraq with an open mind and not one ruled by fear or words like "axis of evil". What has really been accomplished there? What mission has been accomplished? When we stop drop our jingoistic fervor, we will see that this war was not the "answer" at all (especially when we didn't even know what the question was).
