As far as an increase in terrorism, it hasn't happened on American soil, so yeah, we're safer.

Okay Sadam was funding actions of groups like Hamas, but I thought that was in this practice prior to 9-11.
No I don't think that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is seperate from the Middle East... in fact I see it as one of the most important problems to be overcome in the region, as the support of the Palestine by the countries in the region is a major stubbling block on the road to peace.
Yes American soil hasn't been attacked, but "Westerners" are now terrorist targets abroad, when they weren't before...
