Though we disagreed over Iraq, I always respected the way in which he put his case,

There is a reason why Iran and Syria do their best to destabilize the situation in Iraq because they know that if Iraq is allowed to develop as a strong, Muslim state but with secular democratic government, then it's the best argument you can possibly have for people in Iran and in Syria to say 'Why don't we have some of that democracy? Why don't we have proper civil and human rights, too,'

whatever disagreements there have been about the wisdom of our action in Iraq.

I've never said that those people who are engaged in extremism won't use Iraq as a way to recruit or motivate people.

not only disregards the millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan , but he does not care about you as he sends you to the inferno in Iraq and exposes you to death in your land because of his crusader war against Islam.

When people talk about the links between Iraq, Afghanistan or Palestine and what has happened, yes it is true these people will use these things as an excuse,
