So...

So then, how *is* the War on Terrorism going? Unsurprisingly, it's going in exactly the direction you would expect after the heavy-handed bully-boy tactics of the US in the middle-east.

I don't believe that the original assertions that cases of terrorism were at their lowest since 1969 were intentionally fraudulent... as the saying goes, never ascribe to malice what you can adequately explain with incompetence. The final figures are illuminating, but not even remotely shocking. It was always going to be the case that the war in Iraq would be a breeding ground for terrorism... but then, breeding terrorism is what the USA does best. After all, let's not forget that Osama Bin Laden is a good old CIA boy who received training and equipment from the United States so that he could fight the Soviet presence in Afghanistan.

As the report illustrates, we have miles to go before we sleep.
