'World has become more dangerous because of Iraq war' - US election referendum on Bush Policies

New York, Nov 3. (PTI): With American elections only days away, an organisation comprising those who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan has taken out an advertisement, which questions the Bush administration's contention that the attack on Iraq has made the world, especially the United States, safer. "The world is more dangerous because of Iraq. Because of Iraq, Osama bin Laden is still there. Because of Iraq, the military is spread thin. Because of Iraq, there are more terrorists in the world," VoteVets said. The advertisement features four Iraq veterans and closes with a general saying that "because of Iraq, America is less secure."

Rand Beers, President of the National Security Network, said, "When those who put their lives on the line for this country are speaking out against a failed policy, it should make us all see that we should be changing direction."
