Before we were over there they were pretty damn strong and good at what they wanted to do apparently as they hit us. Now that we're over there they're weaker, running around, and aren't hitting us. We sound safer this way to me.
Umm...okay.
That is probably the most anecdotal way of looking at the issue possible. It is very unlikely that our involvement in the region is actually stopping much. There are rather obvious logistical advantages for the various terrorist entities to keeping our armies there as long as possible.
