Iraq Invasion is Thankfully Bringing Things to a Head

A lot of people look at the turmoil in the Middle East, and blame President Bush and our invasion of Iraq for:

1) Hamas' victory in the Palestinian elections
2) Ongoing Palestinian suicide bombings
3) The nuclear showdown with Iran
4) Just about every other problem in the world.

Long before we invaded Iraq, Hamas and Palestinian suicide bombers were actively engaged in violence and Iran was busily and covertly developing nuclear technology.

Operation Iraqi Freedom did not create these problems, but instead pushed them to a head long before they would have otherwise. That's good, because the longer we wait to deal with a problem, the more difficult and costly it becomes.
