The whole thing really is a puzzle.
True, considering that there were plots underway like the gassing of New York tunnels. We also can't forget the bombing of the USS Cole, 9/11, and the previous attack on the WTC.
I definitely believe that the Iraq War has created more terrorist sympathizers. Hell so would capturing Osama. At the same time, one must be a fool to correlate every new terrorist with Iraq seeing that terrorists seem to plan for things well in advance.
In essence, I am not quick to say that these terrorists were not planning something had the Iraq War not existed. Plans have been underway for these bombings for awhile.
There was a night club bombing in Bali in 2002......and there was a series of them in 2005. Maybe the 2005 Bali bombing was 'cause of the war in Iraq.
