After the US pullout of Somolia in 1998, Osama and Al Qaeda decided they could destroy the US with one giant attack, so they planned it over the next 3 years, finally executing it on September 11th.  \n\nThis triggered the US response to terrorism.  Iraq was central in this effort that because Hussein and his regime was funding terrorism around the globe, was collaborating with Al Qaeda, and was sheltering known terrorists and terrorist groups in Iraq (one group we attacked on the first days of the current war).  Also, Hussein had been warned by the UN 17 times to comply with disarming his weapons and showing the disarmament, and he failed to do so.

According to Republic Broadcasting Network radio, 911 was an inside government job to enable Bush to start his war on terror and take more of our freedom away.  It was another step towards a one world government.

Not even close. The reason for 9/11 is that radical muslim terrorists view all non-muslims as infidels that need to be wiped off the face of the earth. This was just ONE attack in that plan!

The problem with the question is that there are many diffrent terrorist factions, many with diffrent motives.\n\nI will address specifically Bin Landen's Al Queda, and theocratic facist. This story does involve Iraq.\n\nOnce upon a time........\n\n*The US was fighting in the cold war with Russia.\n*We financed and armed Afgan rebels to repell the Russians.\n**Bin Laden in the conflict in Afganistan becomes a CIA assest.\n**Bin Landen surives a granade attack, and believes that his God had saved him. He becomes hardcore fundamentilist. \n**Through Islam he see the west as infidels who want to conquer the Muslim world for oil, ect ect ect...\n**FAST foward to BUSH 1,  G. Herbert Bush...and Regan, we support Sadam against the regime in Iran.\n**We give Sadam WMD's, gasses you name it to use against Iran.\n**Meanwhile we are also arming Iran in order to support the Contras war in El Salvador..hence "Iran Contra"\n** Iraq and Sadam are screwed over by russia financially, so they want to take over Kwait which they claim is theirs and which they claim is slant drilling.\n********************** Sadam sends an embassador to the US to OK his actions of invading Iraq...because the US was thier Ally.\n**Sadam invades, the united states convinces Sudia Arabia with doctored photos Iraq troop build up on the Sudi border.\n** The US builds the Bin Sultan Air Base in Sudia Aribia.\n**US leaves Iraq in oder to not create a Islamic State like Iran.\n\n***Bin Laden see the Bin Sultan Air Base as part of the west's attack on mulism culture and will not have the US on Muslim holy land.\n***project for a new american century writes papers and stratiegies to invade the Middle East in order to secure oil.\n**WTC is hit the first time early in Clintons presidency....\nwe capture the people involved and convict.\n***While Bush is govener, Tali Ban Represntetives come to Texas, most likely to discuss the planned pipeline through their country.\n\n*******Before leaving office the Clinton white house reports that the greatest threat facing the new century is Terrorism.\n**Bush 2 takes office, Representative  go to Afganistan again offer "carpet of gold or carpet of bombs." in order to build pipeline for gas and oil intrest.\n**Bush vacations on his ranch and never meets with Counter Terriosm expert...ever. \n**PDB, Bin Laden determined to attack...\n** Our country is attacked. It is worst attack since pearl habor.\n** The US prepares for the Afganistan and Iraq.\n**Conflicts between CIA and DOD leave the CIA with no troop support.\n**Bin Laden escapes Tora Bora\n** DOD takes over intellegence...for Iraq invasion\n** Pressures CIA to find any, connection.\n** DOD produces information which the CIA disputes.\n**DOD relys on  Greman source Curveball, as sole source for Powell speach to UN.\n**War in Iraq\n** Al Queda tries to start a civil war to, zarquari wanting to literally kill all the shieite\n**The Sunni and shieite start a civil war for power.\n**Bathist, Sadam Loyalist begin guriella warfare\n**Torture fotos are released from Guantanimo bay...add fuel to Fundemantalist Muslim hate.\n** We create a traing ground, create an enviroment of civil war, and create a sense of Western colonization in the Muslim World.\nwe closed the Bin Sultan airbase in the end.\n*\n*

bin Laden objects to the presence of US troops (infidels) on Saudi soil. He objects to the US's unconditional support of Israel over the Palestinians. He objected to US support of Saddam Husein during the Iran/Iraq war (where do you think Saddams biological weapons came from?). Basically he just wants the US to keep it's nose out of other peoples business. For further reading (does anyone read anymore?) I reccommend '1000 years for Revenge' by Peter Lance. Pick it up at your local library...

For everyone who says that Iraq had nothing to do with 9&#92;11. \nWe are fighting a war on terrorism and there is no single country that we are fighting. The terrorists are based and&#92; or supported  in many ways and operate independently of each other but they all have the same goal. Afghanistan was a host country, Iran supports them with money and equipment, Saddam paid $$ for suicide bombers and had training camps. Syria is also a sponsor. \nThe point is that while Saddam may not have been directly involved with 9&#92;11, he was a part of the bigger problem and had to be dealt with sooner or later. The terrorists are a network and need to be taken down wherever we find them.

No matter which side you are on - there is a problem with militant muslims.  It started in 1983, and just grew.  The 1993 WTC bombings should've a wake up call for all americans.  We went to Afghanistan & Iraq to defend ourselves because terrorist don't have homeland.  I don't like seeing our troops, ally troops, or iraqis dying, but I'd rather have the battle fought on their land not ours.  911 was the worst attack on our soil ever.

Great Post, thanks for putting it up! By the way, you're 100% right. As for the neocon, who said that thanks to the repuklicans terrorists aren't blowing us up. Here's a news flash...9-11 happened while the repubs were "protecting" us and Bin Laden (the guy behind 9-11) is still running free laughing at us while we spend all our resources (tax dollars) in Iraq!

Iraq, not to be confused with the War on Terror

The root cause? 9-11. It angered the most powerful nation in the world.

It appears that the guy was involved in Al Qaeda, but was either inept, a coward, or both.  He used his time on this earth to aspire to be the lowest scumbag you can imagine ... and he couldn't even succeed at that.  I am so glad he gets to think about that while he grows old and rots in a concrete cell, rather than get his last chance for martyrdom.\n\nAs for whether 911 was staged by our government, I don't believe it for a second.  Bush and crew are far too *incompetent* to pull that off.  They can't even leak a CIA operative's name without getting caught ... to pull off a secret operation like 911 would be impossible for them.\n\nThat said, I think the war in Iraq is a sham.  The American people were (rightly) ready to take heads after 911, and Bush directed us at the *wrong target* for the *wrong reasons*.  (1) There is no evidence of any Saddam involvement in 911; (2) was plenty of evidence showing that Saddam and Bin Laden *hated* each other; and (3) Saddam was was not an Islamic idealogue, he was a cowardly power-hungry secular dictator who cared about nothing but staying in his cozy palaces ... attacking the U.S. would have been the *last* thing he wanted to be involved in ... gained him nothing, lost him everything.  \n\nWhen we had Bin Laden on the run in Afghanistan, and then Bush stops and goes after Bin Laden's hated enemy Saddam Hussein ... Bin Laden must have wet his pants from laughing so hard at Bush.  And then to have us dismantle our precious freedoms with a USAPATRIOT act, and then to leave Iraq in a political shambles just ready for a fanatical Islamic theocracy like Iran ... Bin Laden right now must be smiling ear to ear with how well 911 worked out for him.  Thanks Mr. Bush!  "Bring it on."\n\nOh, and let me add, that I think any enlisted soldier serving in Iraq deserves nothing but respect and praise.  Nothing detracts from their heroism.  It is *for this reason* that I have no kind words for any President who would put our soldiers in harms way without a very *very* good reason!

First of all, you desperately need to learn to spell!\n\nSecondly 'Zacarias Moussaoui' is not a prime example of anything!\n\nhe has NOTHING to do with iraq, nor did iraq have ANYTHING to do with 9/11.  We are in iraq fighting because we have a greedy president who fights for his causes instead of what is right, instead of what the people want!\n\nIt has been proven time and time again that Bush lied about iraq to get us there!  He has a personal vendetta against them and vowed to get them before he was even elected!  He just needed an excuse to get there.  Now that he has the whole country afraid of terrorists after he (yes bush) planned 9/11 personally, he was able to get the excuse he needs to attack iraq.  There are no if ands or buts about it, iraq is an unjust war, we have brought havock to these poor innocent people and destroyed their lives!  Whats next?? Nuclear war in Iran??? if bush has his way then yes!

Yeah. If USA was not intervening with other countries' business, it would have been prevented. From the way US is acting in Iraq and with Iran, I am not sure what US have learnt from 911 though.. Osama and his people are devils trained by US.

Sept. 11, 2001 caused the USA to re-evaluate the concept that a few rogue elements were causing trouble that only required a bomb or two to be dropped, and some level of intelliegence.\n\nNow, we recognize that bin Laden and his group are waging a war without borders, and we will take the war to them. The USA also re-evaluted it soft stance or rogue nations that are hostile to the USA and its interests. Iraq fell into this category. And esp. with an outstanding issue of being in violation of UN resolutions, it was kind of easy to re-start a war that really never had a successful conclusion with Hussein kicking out weapons inspectors.\n\nThe war will end when terrorist activities have (all but) stopped, that we've infiltrated their groups and have successful raids, etc. and then the war will return to an FBI / CIA police action kind of thing.

Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.  Saddam definitely did, at one point, have WMD's but the Allied forces removed/destroyed them all in the first gulf war.\n\nBush, on the other hand, used 9/11 as an excuse to attack Saddam.  This is something many of us believe he intended to do long before 9/11.
