It's a circle they seem more than willing to help fuel.

Canada doesn't get hit. There was that one try I guess, but we caught them before anything happened.

The countries that followed the states into Iraq DID get hit. Britain, Italy, Spain, etc.

Can we stop all terrorism? Of course not. Even if you discount Islamic terrorists there's been many other groups throughout history. The IRA, domestic terrorists like Timothy McVay.

But policies like rendition, and wars like the Iraq war just fuel the fire, and insure that there will be more wars and more rendition in the future.

Good to see the Obama administration continuing to end the criminal policies by Bush (specifically relating to moving prisoners to places where they get tortured).
