I'd like to believe that the scenario you've presented is true, but it probably isn't. Saddam Hussein's contribution to the terrorists in Israel is probably dwarfed by the contributions of almost every other Arab state in the Middle East.

Oh, I admit it's my own speculation. But the homicide bombing has stopped, or nearly so. What effect the monies from the other Arab states have on the future does remain to be seen. However, I'll stick with the drift of my post. Bush used a conventional war to prevent a nuclear war in the Middle East.
