There were no 9-11 celebrations in the Middle east, really? Who is drinking the kool aid here.
There were sanctions on Iraq because they had a despot running the country and destabilizing the region. They were not US sanctions they were imposed by your sacred UN. yes, the sanctions hurt the Iraqi people. They had a simple solution, get rid of Hussain. They did not and the sanctions remained.
You can quibble all you want but in today's world terrorism is almost exclusively and Islamic problem.
