Others seem to seriously disagree. I suppose some might say it's 'our fault', even if granted it doesn't change what's happening now:

Al-Qaeda chief urges Iraqis to export jihad
Uzi Mahnaimi

THE deputy leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has urged supporters in Iraq to extend their “holy war” to other Middle Eastern countries.

In a letter sent to the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq in the past few weeks, Zawahiri claims that it is defeating US forces and urges followers to expand their campaign of terror.

He conjures a vision of an Islamic state comprising Lebanon, Palestine and Syria, where Al-Qaeda has already gained its first footholds.

The goal of an Islamic “greater Syria”, first outlined by Zawahiri two years ago, is detailed in the letter amid growing concern about the activities of new groups under Al-Qaeda’s influence in the countries concerned.
 
I have no idea why this guy is saying that Alqaeda has a stronghold in Palestine and lebbanon....this is simply NOT TRUE, from all that I have read? The terrorist groups there are not alqaeda groups in those countries?

care

We'll try again, with a tad of highlighting:

...He conjures a vision of an Islamic state comprising Lebanon, Palestine and Syria, where Al-Qaeda has already gained its first footholds....
 
who is this person you are taking this information from and saying it is trustable?

What did our own intell people say about Iraq and the war causing terror?

You betcha!

And if you think it's bad now, just wait a few more months until the entire Middle East flashes over.

The U.S. has sown the wind and will reap the whirlwind.

It's the L-a-w of the West, doncha know, girl.
 
"In defending the Iraq war, leading Republican presidential contenders are increasingly echoing words and phrases used by President Bush in the run-up to the war that reinforce the misleading impression that Iraq was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.



"All of the bad actors in the Middle East get mixed up in people's minds," said Andrew Kohut , director of the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, which has polled extensively on views on Iraq. "That's why it was easy to play on the perception that Saddam Hussein got together with Osama bin Laden and said 'Let's fly some planes into buildings.' Saddam Hussein was seen as a bad guy in the Middle East, and so it all gets jumbled up in people's thinking." "
