After the Iraq war most Americans judged it ineffective at reducing terrorism
Evidence
The prolonged war on terrorism did not make the nation feel any safer from terrorist attacks (Ekins, 2014). In the aftermath of the Iraq war only a small percent (14%) of the U.S. public believed that the war reduced the threat of terrorism. An overwhelming majority (83%) believed that it did not make the country any safer. Over a third (38%) believed that it increased the terrorist threat. Despite the killing of Osama bin Laden, the war on terrorism continues, with al Qaeda offshoots in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2428
