Interesting perspective. No one outside of the U. believed that 9/11 was in any way linked to Iraq. It was curious watching the propaganda being issued from US news outlets at the time. Then the following redefinition of "freedom fighter" to "terrorist". Then George W. Bush alienating foreign leaders with "You are with us, or against us." A number of countries supplied troops, special forces or engineers which were withdrawn later when this support did not have popular support.
The reasons for the invasion and occupation are only obvious when you look at the profits of exclusive logistics, and other private contractors, supporting operations in Iraq.
I do not understand the irrational fear of Iran. Given that the country has more political stability than India, Pakistan and North Korea which are all countries with or developing short range nuclear weapons and are actively involved in questionable activities.
