they have been "inflamed" for quite some time now. I dealt with this personally, back when most of the people here were still in grade school and high school.
So they are more inflamed now, I don't care. They were a viable threat to us even before 9/11. This was going to escalate whether we invaded Iraq or not. All invading Iraq did was given us a second, real front to fight on.
Hell, we were at high-alert anytime we were anywhere near the middle-east. And that was well over a decade ago.
I guess I see it this way. They choose us as an enemy. They chose to attack us numerous times over the last 2 1/2 decades. Now, we are taking the battle to them, wherever we can. It is not as clear cut as battles past, but we are doing our best. I would be much happier if Al Qaeda was a 'real' country, with 'real' troops and a 'real' border, but they aren't. We are just gonna have to go after them wherever we can, and we are.
