i do not understand your logic, seaver.
i do not see how you understand the relation between the two parts of your argument: that the group that carried out the bombings in the subways in spain might have existed prior to the iraq war means that there is no causal linkage between the bombings and the iraq war. are you saying that for there to have been a causal linkage, the group would have had to form itself after the war with the express intent of carrying out an action as a protest against the war?
but isn't your position like saying that the american military existed before the iraq war so what they do in iraq is not causally connected to the iraq war?
am i missing something?
