None.The hijackers were part of a terrorist group,Al-Qeada,that operated out of Afghanistan.So when Afghanistan wouldn't hand over the leaders of that group,we invaded them.After that U.S. policy shifted and we decided to go after all state sponsors of terrorism in general.Iraq was at the top of the list because they not only had about twenty U.N. resolutions against them(which gave the U.S. and it's allies the legal right to invade)there was a fear that Saddam would hand over his WMD's to the terrorist organizations he was supporting at the time.He may have gotten rid of them before the invasion,but,he had them at one time.He used them on a Kurdish village.That is what he just was hanged for
Got all that?Good.

None of course, though many still insist on believing Iraqis had some role. The hijackers included 15 Saudis, 1 Egyptian, 2 United Arab Emigrates and 1 Lebanese. We didn't invade Saudi Arabia, or Egypt, or Lebanon, etc. because it was determined the attacks were planned from inside Afghanistan and Afghanistan was where the the base operations of Al Queda operated from. The powers that be in Afghanistan protect those in Al Queda, and allowed their camps to operate though they knew the purpose behind them so it was deemed appropriate to attack that nation as being in collusion with the terrorists. Since Al Queda is composed of people from many different countries and is also composed of Islamic extremists, it doesn't apply to every other citizen of the countries that the hijackers hailed from (even though I suppose that criteria could apply to citizens of Afghanistan as well). Though people love to generalize, it is just not the case that every citizen, or even the majority of citizens from any of the home countries of the attackers are Islamic extremist terrorists.

Zero, none, nada, zilch. No Iraqis were in the planes that were hijacked. There were 12 or 13 Saudis. Saudi Arabia wasn't invaded because the intent was to invade Iraq. It was easy and it has the third largest oil reserve. There are many, many other reasons why our corrupt government did things the way they did.

There were NO Iraqis on the planes.
Iraq was invaded because of its oil and Saudi Arabia was not invaded because the Arab heads of state work hand in hand with the americans.
Simple.
The invasion in fact has nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks

These Islamic jihad members were also at war with the government of Saudi Arabia. Their nationality plays no part in their politics, in this case. These guys were after the infidel, I guess that's us.

So what you are saying is that if a gang of 10 gang members from NYC break into your store and rob you the police need to Arrest NYC? We did Attack Afaghanistan where the Base of the GANG was, regardless of their HOME Town. then after the Raid, THE UN said Hey in that same neihborhood Saddam is planning to start more Shi t like he did 10 years earlier! See 2 dIFFERENT THINGS that are somewhat related.

Well, as all of us with a brain know, the reason for the IRaq invasion was not 9/11. If you brew a pot of coffee I can come over and explain how the world works for you. Oh yeah and some buffalo wings would be nice.

None, and I assume that is exactly your point. Our president and his cabinet originally told us that Iraq and Al-Qaeda are connected in order to push us into the war (this statement was NEVER confirmed by Intelligence), but we all know that isn't the case.

There were no Iraqis on the planes during 9/11. Remeber the invasion of Iraq isn't about 9/11, it was about Iraq's non-compliance with the international communities request for them to show proof that they had eliminated thier chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and destroyed any facility used to make such weapons.
