Straw man. You keep bringing up the World Trade Center attack as if
Saddam ordered it, or was involved in some central way. No credible
evidence has been presented...not even the usually-unreliable
sources...that Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks. (Whether some Iraqis
celebrated or not is beside the point...if that were the criterion for
launching a war, we'd be at war with Syria, Egypt, France, China, and
Malaysia, to name a few.)
Going after the actual planners, financiers, and attackers involved in
the 9/11 attacks is of course justified.
"Liberating" Afghanistan and letting women in Kabul bare their legs and
all was not justified (oh, and the women in Kabul are back to wearing
scarves).
Inasmuch as Iraq and the Baath regime was never linked in any credible
or substantive way, beyond the merest of "maybe they met with Bin
Laden's guys" rumors, and inasmuch as a 9/11 link was never even
alleged by warmongers like Cheney and Perle and Rumsfield, the claim
that Iraq was attacked because of the World Trade Center attack is
ludicrous.
You really are, down deep, a statist. You may have changed your stripes
from supporting the Marxist variant of statism, but what you now
support remains statism to the core.
