Yes you are right.But then part of me wonders if the WTC and Afghanistan kind of set the tone for us to go into Iraq not long after.It was a good time to do it when the public was desensitised to us going into conflicts in the Middle East.Going into Iraq would have been much more of a shocker to the general public had 9/11 and Afghan not happened in the recent past.Look at the protests there was when we went into Iraq already.Imagine what they would have been like had 9/11 never happened.Would we still have gone in do you think?9/11 may have softened public opinion slightly for going to war.
