Because we don't plant fake wmds and we don't kill our own people to start wars.

Damn good point!
Spanish American war is completely irrelevant.
Yes, there is a coalition, but if the US government could do all this, don't you think they could plant chemical weapons in Iraq that could fool the British? We had/have way more troops and support there and traffic going into and out of Iraq than all the coalition members combined. Any evil mastermind that could come up with a plot like this would surely have all his bases covered, including us "finding" WMD in Iraq even if they weren't there.
Nothing has been more embarassing or politically damaging to the Bush administration than the fact that no WMD have been found in Iraq. Surely if they concocted this grand scheme to go there, they would have thought through this contingency. They didn't because there wasn't a grand scheme or plot to create 9/11 and use it to go conquer some countries in the middle east. They may be mistaken, they may be stupid, but they are not plotting some conspiracy.
