Foreign policies do have an impact on the growth of terrorism and on poverty, economic wellbeing of people worldwide. Foreign policy is nearly always originate from economic interests and in the current global world centre heavily around free trade and economic pressure. Read some of the Wikileaks cables written by US Embassy staff and draw your own conclusions. Just keep an open mind.
Nobody said anything about conspiracy theories. Valid conclusions can be drawn by the actions of governments or any organisation. I think it is pretty certain now that there were no WMDs in Iraq nor did the US government really believe this to be the case. What were the real motives? These questions need to be asked.
Transparency is always preferable in governments that purport to represent the people and who are engaged by the citizenry.
