Margaret Hassan, kidnapped in Iraq

I am particularly outraged at the kidnapping of Margaret Hassan, the director of CARE International in Baghdad, because of this woman's humanitarian efforts and because she IS an Iraqi citizen. The kidnappers must have hoped her notoriety would incite Britain or the rest of the world to do something.
We absolutely can not give in to the terrorists (it would only cause more kidnappings) but the Bush Administration can publicly denounce the kidnapping . Oops, that put the spotlight on Bush's pet project, his own personal unjustified war.

Bush claims the world is a safer place without Saddam. No, Mr. President, the world is much more dangerous. We have people like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi free to cross over from Jordan, gather a following, and bomb our troops. He then kidnaps innocent people to call attention to himself and to force out foreign troops. That's something coming from Zarqawi, who is a foreigner. Now Zarqawi has pledged allegiance and will only take orders from Al Qaeda. How does that make the world safer? Our invasion caused a deadly terrorist group to be created and more people to follow Obsama Bin Laden.

It's ironic that Bush says we are hunting the terrorist down in Iraq. Ha, what a joke. That's because he created a country of lawlessness that allows such terrorist groups to exist and with no one to stop them.
