I said that Saddam is the reason that 9-11 happened.


That's where your reasoning breaks down. You are trying to say that there was a chain of events that led to 9/11. You arbitrarily mark the beginning of that chain as Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The reality is that that event was but one of the millions of events in the timeline of history and the beginning could be arbitrarily picked anywhere, say for example with the founding of Israel where most Arabs start their false argument.

This is some sort of variation on the Slippery Slope fallacy perhaps mixed with Questionable Cause.
