...Haeems Maninagar, India No War Connection? In his viewpoint "Why Iraq Has Made Us Less Safe ..." Daniel Benjamin pinned the cause of the London bombings on the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq [July 18]. His thesis, however, doesn't explain the motives behind the 9/11 attacks or the 2002 Bali bombing.

The alarmists, especially Benjamin, need to recognize that success in Iraq - at a high yet reasonable cost - will make the world safer in the long run. Democracies don't export terrorism.

But ever since Sept. 11, 2001--ever since New York and Bali and Jakarta and Karachi and Riyadh and Casablanca and Madrid and Baghdad were hit by radical Islamic terrorists--Londoners had recognized that sooner or later, the bombers would get around to them too. "I don't feel angry," said research student Kevin Benish, 21, as he placed a bunch of lilies on a makeshift shrine outside King's Cross station the next day. "I knew it wasn...
Maybe not this year. As President Reagan and his aides prepare to fly this week to Bali for a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and then to Tokyo for the twelfth annual summit, on May 4 to 6, the excursion augurs well to be both a practical and a ceremonial success. The reason: as they nudge their economies through a fourth year of sustained growth, the industrialized countries are showing a capacity for cooperation unmatched in recent years.
