Thank you Bryan Alexander... lest we forget:

(By invading Iraq),"All we've done is created more hatred for Americans around the world and created more terrorists."
I've heard this argument many times, that by invading Iraq, we are somehow responsible for causing others around the world to hate us.Here is a partial list of terrorism activities against the United States, all occurring before the invasion of Iraq:
December 29, 1992: A bomb exploded in a hotel in Aden, Yemen, where the US troops had been staying while en route to a humanitarian mission in Somalia.February 26, 1993: World Trade Center bombing - kills six and injures over 1,000.
October 3, 1993: Eighteen US troops killed in a guerilla attack in Mogadishu, Somalia.
November 13, 1995: Five Americans and two Indians killed in the truck bombing of a US-operated Saudi National Guard training center in Riyadh.
June 25, 1996: A large truck bomb at the US military residence in Dhahran - 19 servicemen killed.
February 1998: Bin Laden issues joint declaration with two terrorist groups which stated that Muslims should kill Americans including civilians--anywhere in the world.
August 7, 1998: US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania bombed, kills over 220 people and injures over 4,500
October 12, 2000: USS Cole in Yemen is rammed by a small craft loaded with explosives - 17 US sailors killed and 39 injured.
Sept. 11, 2001: Terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon kills thousands.
These people hated us well before the invasion of Iraq. I think people can reasonably debate the merits of invading Iraq, but it makes no sense to me to say that we are causing hatred. The hatred has been there for a very long time.
