HOnestly I dont think this would have happend if we were not in Iraq right now. We are setting a huge example to the rest of the Middle eastern countries. If they want to hold terror cells in there country, then the US will rat tat tat on there door. The middle eastern countries realize right now that their country would not do so well with hundred of thousands of US troops occupying their land. Therefor they will take action and plug a few terrorists for us.
