Yes strange. Saudis and Pakiswines are bushes closest allies though we all know that the source of terrorism are these countries.

Your data is correct as far as it goes, but does not apply to Iraq. The events of 9/11 showed, not that Iraq had a direct involvement, but that weapons of mass destruction in the hands of a madman were a threat that could not be tolerated. Saddam had numerous opportunities to come clean on his weapons program, but did not do so. With the pressure increasing after the 9/11 events, he finally decided that he needed to get his WMD materials out of Iraq, and secretly shipped most of the material to Syria starting in June 2002 (where presumably it remains today). But this did not meet the demands that the weapons be demonstrably destroyed, so the war was resumed shortly thereafter.
As for Saudi Arabia, there is no evidence that the 9/11 plot was supported in any way by the Saudi government. Indeed, the radical faction behind 9/11 also attacked targets in Arabia, fortunately with little success.

President Bush acted on the wrong Info. There weren't any Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Saddam Hussein was a dictator killing and raping his own people.
Saddam was also not allowing United Nations inspectors into the country to check if his nation had acheived nuclear power.
Saddam could have used this against any nation he wished especially to support terrorism against anyone who opposed him.
He was also using the Kurdish people to test out his new types of poison gas.
Even though Saddam And Osama bin Laden met,they weren't exactly friends. They just had a common enemy,the West. Except Osama was more fanatical at striking against the West than Saddam. AND Saddam was supposed to be using the Food for OIL program set up by the U.N. to get food and medicines for the general Iraqi population. That didn't happen. Saddam was found to have BILLIONS hidden away in foreign accounts.
YET, there are people(Sunnis) in Iraq who are still hoping that Saddam comes back to power so things can go back to the way they were. Ain't gonna happen.

"Kindly Explain why Iraq was bombed after 9/11 ."
Because George Bush is an idiot. He should never have been president in the first place. The Iraq war is an illegal war.

I did not chose to enter a war. I do not believe that we can win this "war". I have nothing against you, but much against my leaders. Your problem is with the people that have allowed our leaders to make these disastrous decisions, not with the people that disagree with them. I would hope that next year an atheist or agnostic, or at least someone who doesn't believe that they have all the answers regarding god will be elected, and yet, because America is filled with brain dead extremist Christians who want a theocracy, this will not happen.

I cannot explain the Actions of our Government---I do not know all of the Facts(Real Facts) in order to Judge their Actions.
I know this:
People who go around strapping explosives to them selves and blowing up Innocent People are the BAD GUYS.
And BAD GUYS cannot go around pissing-off other Nations without finally paying a Price.
I have seen the Old Westerns, I know how it works.
The GOOD GUYS in the WHITE HATS WIN. Period.

We are still trying to figure this one out. All I can say for sure is that we were lied to and now so many of the ones in power are so invested in this lie that the truth , as to whether it is incompetence or manipulation of the common people for the benefit of the few, will not be know in my lifetime.

Bush went to Iraq because: 1. Saddam tried to kill his daddy and he wanted revenge. 2. OIL. It has nothing to do with 9/11. The world knows this.... even Americans know this, except hard-headed, Republican rednecks.
