9/11 was a setup so that we can invade iraq and go to war with them. Are you serious? What did we have to gain by invading Iraq? NOTHING... Did we invade Iraq in direct correlation to the planes? NO... We invaded Afghanistan. We invades Afghanistan on 19 October 2001 and Iraq not until 19 March 2003. If we invaded Iraq because of 9/11 why did we wait almost 2 full years? At the time we only got around 20% of our crude oil imports from Persian Gulf countries so what would have invading Iraq done for us?
It's not the direct benefits for the entire country rather than the benefits for the people and corporations that are buddy buddy with certain politicians.
I'm honestly surprised that we didn't go to war with Iran, too, during the George W. Bush administration because Halliburton selling Iran parts needed for making a nuclear reactor as recently as 2005; let's not forget that Cheney was the CEO of Haliburton prior to become VP.
