I bet if you polled the America Public and asked if the war with Iraq is because of their involvement with 9/11 a large majority would say YES. There is proof that one (possibly two) of the hijackers had met with Iraqi diplomats during the planning stages but the US's own intelligence says that the hijackers were attempting to gain financial support from Iraq and that they were turned down. Other than that there hasn't been any direct link between Iraq and 9/11. Bush certainly wants people to think that there is a link. It will make selling the war to the world a lot easier. Too bad there are no facts to support it. Not saying Iraq is a bunch of nice people, but they don't have a part in the war on terrorism that was started after 9/11.
Bush is going to look REALLY bad if we are in the middle of a war with Iraq and Osama pops up and kills more Americans on American soil. Al-queda knows the war with Iraq is on it's way. What better time to attack us?

No matter what happens I think it is only going to get worse before it gets better. How long till the first Islamic suicide bomber detonates a bomb in a crowded shopping mall or movie theater in the US? You think that only happens in places like Tel Aviv or Jerusalem? Wait till it happens in Miami or Dallas or Topeka. Then Bush is going to have a lot of explaining to do about why al-queda is still active after we supposedly ended their threat. Every now and then you see something on the news about al-queda still being active but Iraq is the bigger story and it gets all the airtime. I'm afraid people are going to be in for a rude awakening if al-queda attempts another attack. But of course then the media will be all over al-queda again like they were never pushed to the back page.

Pop goes the World...
