Since there were no weapons of mass destruction, since there was no real threat to the US (at least from Iraq), since Al Qaeda was not in league with Saddam, there was no real reason for the war

Incorrect.

Saddam was in violation of the cease fire accords at the end of the first Gulf War....he was shooting at our airmen on a daily basis, his support for terror organizations and harboring of terrorists was well known and well documented, his refusal to come clean on WMD and cooperate fully in inspections was a major issues which needed to be resolved....

In light of 9/11, the war was not only inevitable but clearly necessary....

OK, I made my case; you made yours. We disagree, and there is little chance either of us will change our minds.

Here's something to think about though: If President Clinton had nailed Osama bin Laden, would we have suffered 9/11?

We'll never know, will we?

Clinton failed to act; Bush acted. You could say that one is the result of the other.
