One of the talking points from the left is how America, it's allies, and "the world" is less safe because of Bush and Iraq. Well this interesting story shows that just about anything will make you "less safe", including writing a book.
"Al-Qaida's No. 2 issued a new audiotape on Tuesday threatening to retaliate against Britain for honoring the novelist Salman Rushdie, a U.S.-based monitoring group said."
Terrorists use propganda to make excuses for their attacks, and if there was no situation in Iraq, they would use another excuse to justify their attacks. We need to stop worrying about who we "offend" and who we "make mad", because these poeple are out to kill us regardless of Iraq, Afghanistan, or knighthood.
