Nerevar you are right. Stop it now please.
Ummmm... but Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism. Are you implying that USA should start attacking random countries instead of attacking terrorism just because it's easier?
1) Actually the recruits aren't just from Iraq. They come from many countries. I was watching a show about the matter last month, and some kind of insider was saying that it got so easy after the Iraq war that in some islamic countries the recruits are coming to them on their own asking them to join.
2) Well the US military morale is low. Everybody knows that. And I seriously doubt that the US army is gonna allow to be released any study about it.
Vince said:Fighting terrorism is asymmetrical, you can't just throw money at it and say Look! It's gone now. You're fighting a foe without bounderies, it truely is a virtual-state and it's an oppertunistic conflict... unlike Iraq and it's conventional war we fought. You can't just make comments as you did.

1) Iraqi civilian martyrs will not attack the US or UK homeland, the recruitment is much different than that which happened in Afghnaistan in the 1990s. These people are given a car to drive and a button to push, they have no access to international travel, no ability to pull off an attack like today or September 11. Time magazine interviewed such a "terrorist", I recommend you read it.
2) Show me a study of the US military morale being damanged, thanks.
PS. Smart friend you have, heh, as you said he focuses more on the intersection of computation and biology but I deeply respect his work.
