Iraq and Terrorism, but not the same
The molding together of "terrorism" and Iraq has been one of the Bush's administration's greatest PR tricks --- to make American's forget the reason we invaded Iraq in the first place and lead them to mix, mistakenly Iraq and terrorism, a horrible reality that is still fresh in the emotional lives of Americans. But, and we could all use a reminder, 9-11 had nothing to do with Iraq. The terrorism around the world --- how much of it has had anything to do with Iraq?
The real issue here is that Americans, riding the tide of fear and pain from 9-11, were led by Bush's administration to invade Iraq, because they lied that there were weapons of mass destruction. But, having found none, they continue to say the word "terrorism" and "Iraq" in the same speeched, when the two have nothing to do with each other. Unless you believe that the continued American presence in Iraq is fostering new terrorists from other countries, who see the U.S. invasion of Iraq as reason to hate us. But that's not Iraq's fault.
Now that we have the person we love to hate, Saddam, the Bush administration can't afford to no have been justified in invading a sovereign country and its continued attempts to cover up the fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction found. The only way it can do this is by somehow tying the terrorism that is happening in countries such as Britain with Iraq, when, as has always been the case, Iraq has nothing to do with the terrorism in Britain -- the terrorists were all from other countries.
Next the Bush administration will lead Americans to believe that pigs can fly or that cats and dogs can really rain down from the sky ---
