One problem with that rationalization of the war is that you are assuming that the total sum of "terrorists" stays the same. The military inteligence reports seem to indicate that due to the Iraq war, the total sum of terrorists in the Middle East (and especially in Iraq) has substantially grown. The same reports also seem to indicate that most of the "terrorists" roaming Iraq are not foreignors but are new Iraqi terrorists who were "created" by the war. These include all the various "death squads" that are roaming Baghdad.
Another problem with that rationalization of the war is the number of civilians that have been killed. Regardless of who killed these civilians (some were killed by bombing back in 2003, others by terrorist attacks later on), they have been killed as a result of the war, and most would still be alive if there had been no war. The total number of civilians killed in this war far surpasses the total number of people killed by all terrorist attacks worldwide in the last 50 years.
