Teribus, you say, "Iraq no longer sponsors international terrorists, or pays Palestinian children to blow themselves up - If you want to see the effect of that take a look at the dip in the incidents in Israel before and after March 2003 - probably just a coincidence, eh Arne?"

The incidents in Israel may or may not have decreased but the terror in Iraq is ongoing. Didn't the U.S. overthrow Saddam because he incarcerated without trial, he tortured and he killed his own people?
With the help of the U.S. government, it looks as if the new Iraqi govt. is guilty of the very same thing. They have recently discovered torture chamber in the interior ministry. The Wolf brigade and many other paramilitary groups are springing up everywhere.

Answer this question teribus, "Are the lives of Israelis more important than the lives of Iraqis?"
