Default RE:War in Iraq (war on terrorism) is making terrorism worse...

Hmm, a couple of notes on that article, madape.

- I find comparing fatalities a rather questionable method.Furthermore, not including the acts of militancy against US troops in Iraq, in my opinion, is a mistake, because, while I do recognisee that this does not really fit the description of terrorism, it is conducted by militants that could just as well be commiting acts of terror against civilians, and secondly because those militants are supported by organisations that are, all by themselves, terrorist organisations.

- Fatalities is all very well, but if you know that in the Madrid bombings you had something like a thousand injured, it just goes to show how inept this comparison really is.
