Did the approach Bush took with Iraq promote or hurt the cause of religious induced violence in the middle east?

Aside from mass killing "prospective" suicide bombers using American made "legal" bombs, I do not see how the war could impede religious induced violence.

And just yesterday the interim government stated the reason for all of the violence was due to "Arab media" broadcasting violence on the airwaves in Iraq. There is no solution. We can iether make the problem better or worse. This is like a sore that will never go away. We can pick at it and irritate it, and cause a whole lot of pain and grief, or we can medicate and treat the situation carefully and with patience.

Bush whipped the whole region up into a frenzy. He picked the scab off the wound. He wants to end global terrorism. What a righteous goal. For a leader of the free world to not understand this goal is 100% unattainable is a very dangerous proposition.
