Fair enough. I still don't get it really, but I'll take your word for it! :-)
And the assumption of the vast majority of Australians. Oh, and the rest of the world...
If many terrorist organisations explicitly target you because you invaded a country, then it is a fact that you are more at risk.
Let me spell it out.
1) Australia was not in danger from Iraq
2) Australia invaded Iraq
3) Terrorists target Australia because they invaded Iraq
4) Therefore, Australia is now more at risk than before.
5) QED
There's simply no arguing or debating these fundamental facts.

Well, ignoring the smart-ass comment (or is it sarcasm?), I both agree and disagree with you.
One would think the Palestinian terrorists would "understand" strength. Yet each targetted and deadly attack by Israel results in retribution from them. And so the cycle continues.
In other words, you have been proven wrong.
WHEN HAS A TERRORIST ORGANISATION
EVER CEASED ITS ACTIVITIES DUE TO ATTACKS FROM A WESTERN POWER?

One thing does
not follow the other. And don't insult my intelligence. I respect you and give you the benefit of doubt, so please do the same for me.

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.

I know what you meant, and you put words in my mouth; things that I didn't say.
So what's your point?
