Lacking political savy...

What I lack in political understanding I more than make up for in my overall lack of understanding of humanity.

Where is the link between the attack on the World Trade Center (a terrorist initiative) and 2nd war in Iraq? Current Republican rhetoric would have us believe there is/was a significant link between the 9/11 attack and our (USA) initiative to remove Saddam Hussain from his place of power in Iraq.

Where is that link?

If my feeble memory serves, the majority of the alleged terrorists were Saudi's. Why weren't retaliatory actions directed toward their country of origin?

Why does this so much smack of a vendetta, a push by the son to vanquish the foe of the father?

I am confused?
