Let's see the evidence
Before you go on to your conclusion that "Iraq's days as an independent country are therefore limited." I think we need to see verifiable evidence that Saddam Hussein or verifiable Iraqi agents were involved in 911.
I completely agree with your comment that "Attacking the United States and killing 3,000 innocent people cannot be tolerated."
All we need to do is identify the perpetrators of this horrible deed and bring them to justice. And if that turns out to be someone besides the Iraqi dictator, then what?
After all, it was not employees of an Iraqi communications company which reportedly got the two hour warning of the impending attack on WTC, but an Israeli one.
