had Bush done nothing and another incident ensued, he'd also have been criticized. The alternative to what he has done was never "do nothing". Attacking Afghanistan was fully justified, nobody is arguing about that. Instead of turning the nation's attention AND its major military presence to Iraq, he could have gone after Al-Qaeda with greater force. I don't see how he had any real choice. Iraq was not in anybody's mind before the Bush administration started pounding on about what a great threat Saddam was and how he had to be taken out immediately so that US would not glow in the dark. The invasion of Iraq was Bush's choice, not a necessity in any way. Even if, as you say, he somehow had to invade Iraq - Did he not have the choice of actually listening to those who advised better preparation for the war and its aftermath?
