The world is clearly not safer.

Terrorist attacks have escalated worldwide since the invasion of Iraq and despite the unfounded claims of your administration, membership in terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda, have increased.

Iraq *might* have been safer with the removal of Hussein but only if the US had a coherent policy for post-occupation Iraq. The increasing violence and loss of life for both our soldiers and Iraqi citizens proves that Iraq is certainly not safer since Saddam's capture.

It has been proven that at the time of your unilateral invasion Hussein had no capabilities to attack his neighbors much less the United States.

Saddam was a bad and, prior to the 1st Gulf War, dangerous man. But the removal of his regime without a plan to manage post-invasion Iraq has fatally destablized Iraq, the Middle East and the entire world.

The answer, beyond a doubt, is NO.
