Universal Agreement: Terror Threat Increased After Bush and Blair's Excellent Iraq Adventure

Why the fuck wouldn't the terror threat be MUCH higher is a better question for the Coulters, Limbaughs, and Michelle Malkins of the world.

From the wires:

Most people in 33 out of 35 countries worldwide believe that the US-led war in Iraq has increased the threat of terrorism, a survey for BBC World Service radio suggested.

An average of 60 percent in the 33 nations agreed that the March 2003 invasion had increased the likelihood of terrorist attacks, with just 12 percent believing the opposite. A further 15 percent thought it had no effect.

The survey of 41,856 people by Canadian pollsters GlobeScan and the US Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) also claimed there was overall support in 20 countries for US forces to withdraw in the next few months.
