Yeah, it is.  Look through the international frequency of radical Islam terrorist attacks...you'll see nothing basically before the 1980's (I think there was one in the late 1970's).  Then, Iran overthrew the puppet we forced into power on them, and it ticked them off.  So, the attacks started...a little at first...then grew in frequency slightly until guess when?  Our Iraq invasion.  That's when we pulled the lid off that can of worms, and it really uncorked since.

Again, like I said in another post to you....we wanted this war on terrorism.  Guess what?  We got it.
