Then how did they set up shop and become accepted and sheltered so easily in a country they obviously want to tyrannize and a country where they murder innocents on a daily basis?

Easy, we removed the government and didn't provide a replacement.

Foreigners don't just enter a foreign country and set up terrorism unless they have some pre-established infrastructure.

Sure they do, especially since we removed all traces of law and order

Whether they were there or not, pre-invasion, they are there now...This requires our presence as it would be irresponsible and incompetent to retreat.

It's been concluded that they were not there pre-invasion. Yes, they are there now. This discussion is not about retreat. But what you are saying is "We broke Iraq, now we have to stay and fix it." There is some truth to the statement "it would be irresponsible to retreat." But I wish we hadn't broken it in the first place. On the other hand, we opened the door to the terrorists, and now we can kill them there instead of here. We've just made innocent Iraqi civilians the "collateral damage" instead of our own innocent civilians.
