I was being sarcastic, based on the wrong assumptions that what the terrorists are doing is no different then what the US or other nations do, but I know it wasn't clear enough.

You may rather doubt it if you want, but if you seriously believe that the Australian, and for that matter American, invasion of Iraq did NOT make these two countries a bigger target, then your understanding of these affairs is not as well rounded as I thought.

That is YOUR assumption, but tell it to the dead in Bali. If there is one thing these barbarians understand its strength. Bending over and talking about feelings won't move them.

Finally, please do not make basic errors in logical argument in paraphrasing me. I did not say anything about "having a potential mid east [sic] democracy" as decreasing safety, but specifically the invasion of Iraq.

One thing can lead to another, try to follow through with the logic rather then just skimming the surface to be contrary. You knew what I meant and you know the two are directly related. It wasn't like a magical democracy would spring up in Iraq or any other Islamic state.
