Also taking saddam out, opens up iraqi oil for the marketplace at some point in the near future, thus lessening saudi control of price and supply. This in turn makes the saudis more amenable to US pressure re: terrorists. And bin laden helped with his blow in Saudia arabia last month.
The organism which reared its ugly head on 9/11 had the potential for geometric growth if all these disparate islamic and arab terror groups and states had time to work together more closely after the stunning success of the 9/11 assault. Iraq would have been the linchpin of that organism imo. Take out the bases in afganistan and then the terror state that would have been the linchpin and control the oil and the saudis too boot---Not bad. mike
