Both of these can, of course, be elaborated on extensively (certainly, books have been written on the subject of combating terrorism) but that is my prescription in a nutshell.
First online title loans ME, I have seen little evidence that Al-Qeada was ever able to get any serious recruits from Iraq (I certainly am unfamiliar with any known terrorists originating from there, or from Iran, for that matter). Second, the attack (at the very least in the short term) increased the level of hatred towards the United States all over the Arab world, encouraging new recruitment. Fourth, our presence in Iraq gives Al-Qeada a target, a base from which to kill Americans in a society that remains relatively lawless. Iraq has become a symbol, in a way the entire country has been martyred and has been an effective recruiting tool throughout the region. Hence we have invented a front in the war on terror that need not exist. Finally, American presence in Iraq has severely damaged our relations with many former allies whose assistance is absolutely necessary in any serious effort to fight terrorism (see point one above).
