Now that we're finding out more about the suspects in the UK bomb plots, and we're finding out that at least a couple of them were Iraqis, pissed off at what's been happening in their country the last 5 years, who went to England to try to kill people, can we stop pretending that stationing troops in Baghdad is somehow preventing 'The Terrorists' from coming over here to get us?
There are both humanitarian (Colin Powell's 'Pottery Barn Rule') and national security (raging civil war in the world's oil breadbasket = bad idea) reasons to keep troops in Iraq. The idea that, somehow, the troops there are preventing bad guys around the world from executing their evil plots is nearly farcical.
