Reply #12: The Arab world is safer. Dean said the USA isn't safer. And he's right [View All]

Dean's comment was about the American people not being any safer. The world is safer if you're Kuwaiti or a Kurd dissident, not counting the Kurds who have been murdered by Baathist insurgents since we blew into town.

Oh, and if the Baathists were so dangerous before, then how is it we're safer now that they're starting to team up with al-Qaeda? The double bombing in northern Iraq the other day is almost certainly al-Qaeda's work. They're getting stronger and have thousands more supporters due to our invasion of the Iraq oil fields.

So if anything, we're at a greater risk of terrorist attack than before. Mr Bush threw kerosene on the fire; things are bound to get worse.
