Why should we attempt to fight the war on terror in many different lands when we could suck them all into one? We took the fight to a land already in need of cleaning, and drew the terrorists into our kind of fight.

By invading Iraq we created chaos and opportunities for the likes of Syria & Iran to exploit with their Sunni & Shia co-Islamists across the border. There is never going to be "a gunfight at the O.K. coral" so-to-speak with terrorists in Iraq, it's not that simple.
As I said before if we could get a real result from Libya, who was a very active rogue state, then why not try the same thing with Saddam & Iraq - unless of course there was another hidden agenda?
