From 9/11, President Bush has declared war on terror. Iraq was a financer of terrorist groups and also a hideout. Saddam's support for these groups was the reason Bush saw Iraq a staging point. Iraq also was rumoured to have WMDs. Afganistan was different because in Afghanistan it was to topple the regime of the Taleban and to "capture" Osama. Thats his name. Bin Laden means Son of Laden. So the links of terror groups, dictators and strict regimes in the Middle East, goes so far as they supply and finance the terrorist. And if stability of the Middle East can be accomplished. Well your OIL prices will drop dramactically.

Bush has no choice but to fight terror, as there are multidtudes of reasons why stability in the Middle East in important. It not about 9/11 anymore. Its not about getting to overthrow Iraq. Is way bigger then that. This is just the beginning.
