<p>Found this quite interesting. “Which came first, the chicken or the egg” kind of argument, in other words, did the terrorists beg for the Iraq war, or did the war spur more terrorism?</p>
<p>Yup. It is just a para-military option for forces who lack the capacity to engage in direct combat without much larger casualties. Among the exceptions of course were the U.S. military-trained proto-Christians who attacked the federal building in Oklahoma City (with three times as many dead as in London) - clearly, they were not trying (as far as we know) to get the U.S. to withdraw from the United States.</p>
