fair enough, you have your opinion. i am not saying 9/11 was a consequence of our actions. I don't even really know what the motivation was for them.
But most of the deaths in iraq on our side have little if anything to do with 9/11, and the next one and the next one after that will have little to do with the next time some wingnuts do something to us.
we lose thousands of people to needless diseases, too, and just think of if the trillion spent in iraq would have gone toward rebuilding the U.S. infrastructure and dealing with immigration and gangs. instead of making ourselves stronger, we weakened ourselves with a needless war. My feeling of safety sure didn't change with the hanging of saddam. I don't fear attack anyway, as an occasional sporadic event is probably not stoppable anyway, and is less risk to the average person than being struck by lightning. We have domestic terrorism, too, and that does not seem to subside over time.
Bush used the patriotic spirit resulting from 9/11 and squandered it for corporate objectives after the real objective, osama, got away.
