Only one problem then TL and Promethius - the rest of the world (or at least the majority of the rest of the world) does NOT equate the war on terror with the war on Iraq. The question was asked why there is no world sympathy still towards the war on terror, and I suggest to you that that groundswell still exists. There was not a whole lot of opposition to going into Afghanistan where the links between the Taliban and Al Queda were evident.

Afghanistan was part of the war on terror, whereas Iraq (despite all the WOMD and Free the people rhetoric) was not, and smells more and more of being "Pappy's unfinished business" from what the disgruntled ex-staffers lead me to believe. The fact that it is attracting terrorists in the occupation phase does not blur the issue for many thinking people who are not daily subjected to "The Fair and Balanced One".
