Yes, but you seem to think attacking Iraq, which was a secular country, and not a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism, will defeat people like the terrorists who were involved in 9/11. If you can't understand why that might seem like a very strange target to some people, especially given your interest in "neutering" young Muslims(unfortunate language on your part, imo), then I really don't know what to say to you. Because Iraq was a strange target, if you want to reduce Islamic hostility toward the West, and reduce the threat of an Islamicist theocracy in Iraq. Those folks who want a pan-Arab Caliphate have a lot more hope of it now, than they did when Saddam was in power.
