DavesM, you're dead wrong. Many things led to 9/11 but the last big mistake was the policy of ignoring the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and allowing the Palestinians and Sharon to run wild. Despite all the inferences and claims, we WANTED TO BE IN SAUDI ARABIA, regardless of Iraq. We could have based our troops elsewhere and defended the Saudi oil fields but that's wasn't our only goal. In addition, Saddam was an ALLY in the fight against fundamentalist terrorists. You can't use 9/11 to justify the exercise of American military might in all instances. That drums been beaten so long that it's starting to ring hollow.
