I agree that the situation in Iraq helps to motivate more Muslims to join radical groups. However, I also believe that those Muslims are more motivated to take up the more pressing cause of driving the infidels from Arab land, rather than the thought of coming to America and blowing stuff up here. The latter will not go away until we find all of them and kill them, but there is merit to the "flypaper theory" for the former.

The name of the game is to arrange the meeting between their terrorists and our soldiers. That can be done here or there. I prefer it to be done there.
There is NO OTHER PATH TO FOLLOW! dims HAVE NOTHING BUT DEFEAT AND SURRENDER IN THEIR TRICK BAG! Kill them all in Iraq!

Those believing Iraq has created more terrorists probably believe that ants, which appear in hordes after and ant hill is disturbed, just came out of nowhere.
Did the Japanese make more enemies of Americans when the bombed Pearl Harbor? I ask this because it's silly to think that when one country attacks another or when a country that's been attacked reacts defensively, that this doesn't make more enemies then you had previously.
