We never needed 9/11 to happen to go to Iraq, we could do that by saying that they had weapons of mass distruction. Which is reason enough. Do you honestly think that Bush just woke up one morning and was like, yeah, I want to crash planes into buildings one of them being a government building just so I can go and get at Iraq. If you really believe that then you are a "fool". Why would our government, do that honestly, and not just Bush, he is not the only one in our government. We did not know that Osama did it right away, we suspected him almost right away, since he attack the very same buildings earlier, also we know things due to intelligence. The reason the Osama family would get a free ride out of here is because their names were all over the media, I would say a lot of people would target the man's family that was responsible for killing thousands. Do you think we should just let them sit around and get shot. If we were to have kept them then we would have been "protecting the enemy" that is a lose, lose situtation. As far as the fighter planes are concerned, do you really think the government is willing to shot down a plane back then when they were not 100% sure of its intent. It is easy to say yes now, but back no way.
