It's better if Iraqi civillians get collateral dammaged than U.S. citizens, right.
My previous comment supposed that Tom was concerned about this fellow commiting violence in France.
The Attas, who sit and plan for most of a decade are still out there. More resolved than ever. Those getting killed in Iraq (besides our kids, Iraqi insurgents and innocents) are the young radicals and adventurers from mostly neighboring countries. In the long term, things are worse. New Iraq is likely going to teeter and fall as soon as ~140,000 U.S. troops leave. It'll become what it can and not what we want.
