I'm sure we have. I've been talking to Arab acquaintances, who, until before the invasion, were of a quite moderate disposition against the US. Didn't like them (mainly because of the Palestinian issue), but didn't really hate them either. Now, they feel they got a grudge. There is no doubt, in my mind, that similarly-minded people, worse educated and more religiously fanatic than my acquaintances, would take an opportunity to inflict damage on US and Western interests.
How many bin-Ladens did the Iraq invasion create? Probably thousands!
P.S BTW, that was a good demolition of Paisano's 'arguments'.
