War Causes Terrorism

Reading over some news, I came across a pretty fantastic quote from CIA Director, Porter Goss:

"The Iraq conflict, while not a cause of extremism, has become a cause for extremists," Goss told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Umm, no shit. What angers me to a large degree is that it takes someone like Goss to bring this issue out into the open. And that doesn't even mean it will be discussed. I suppose it's among the many costs of doing war, but that doesn't mean we should just let it go.

When I read stuff like that, I can't help but get angry. I always have more to say than I'm actually writing. Unfortunately, we'll be the ones that reap what Bush sows.
