But if you think the US being in Iraq is the cause of terrorism - please explain.

When Saddam was in power, he knew that he had to put a damper on terrorist groups if he wanted to stay in power. Now there's a power vacuum, so every Tom, Dick, and Abdullah with a bomb and a machine gun is moving into Iraq to set up a training camp. And there's nothing Bush can or will do about it.

The US being in Iraq might not be the cause of terrorism, but being in Iraq isn't doing anything to decrease it: probably the opposite.
