There are no ties between 911 and the current possible pre-emptive strike on Iraq?
When 911 happened bush said that the US would go after any terrorist states or states who sponsor terrorists. This is exactly what he accused Iraq of doing even though there is actual proof that everyone from Saudi Arabia to the good ol' USA are also guilty of that.
Nobody was talking about attacking Iraq earlier in 2001. Not since 98'. Though the Iraqi and Afghanistan warplans were on Bush's desk prior to 911 it wasn't until AFTER that the people would go for it.
Saddam would not attack the US. To do so would be sucide for him. The terrorist on 911 were not a 'state'. They were desperate terrorists who HAD NOTHING TO LOSE. Saddam has EVERYTHING to lose.
The only reason Saddam has to attack the US is if the US attacks first.
The only reason the US has to attack is for Oil.
The US has spent 5 TRILLION on nuclear weapons. If in fact these weapons were created to be used as a deterrant from being attacked then the US wasted 5 TRILLION USD. If that money was not wasted (as I'm sure Bush would have you believe then there is NO reason to attack Iraq.
Behind every conflict. war or terrorist event there is someone who stands to gain monetarily from it. Those are the people that should be inspected.
