OK, let's grant there's a problem with domestic Muslim terrorist groups who are inspired by (by not directly controlled, funded, or trained by) radical groups such as al-Queda.
How exactly did invading Iraq help reduce that threat?
Granted their targeting the Canadian government isn't particularly rational, but do you think this group would have been more likely or less likely to have taken the same actions had the U.S. not invaded Iraq?
Thinking the invasion of Iraq was a strategic error isn't the same as thinking there's no threat and no need to do anything, much as you like to conflate the two.
It is true though, that most of the terror arrests in the U.S. have turned out to involve rather less scary stuff than claimed in the initial breathless reports from the Justice Dept.
