Here is my take.

Saddam has not fired a shot outside of his border's since Gulf war One.

Terrorists fly planes into the WTC and that wakes a sleeping giant.

We then start agitating for war with Iraq and here is my problem with it all

Iraq somehow starts getting thrown in with the attack in the media and soon it almost becomes as If Saddam himself ordered the attack. The media really starts pushing the links to AL Q.

Thats when I had to call BS. The way it was being sold you could smell the pure speculation and fabrication of it all. We knew that almost all of the terrorists were almost exclusively Saudi. But did we hold Saudi Arabia responsible? At this point you could say no but why should we, This was an attack by individual extremists and that makes it hard to make a nation accountable, Yet at the same time thats exactly what we did in Iraq!

We used one thing (WTC) to justify a complete other (IRAQ Invasion)

So far we have destabilized a region, created a power Vacuum that Iran is more than happy to fill, Cost countless lives both ours and theirs, ran up a dept that will be hard to recover from and made the USA look like fools and tyrants to the rest of the world including most of our allies.

Nope it wasn't worth it, IRAQ would have been better off with Saddam.
