Logic of attacking Iraq? There was none.
9/11 happened, and the next logical step would be to take the power from those who attacked us and rally support to that end. The world moruned with us after the attacks, and it seemed for one fleeting moment that we could rally a superior, miltilateral operation to disable terrorist networks around the world. What did we do? We f**ked up Afghanistan in a way that the Taliban coulnd't even acheive, and we attacked a country that had no links whatsoever to 9/11. We fumbled the ball, to use Super Bowl day appropriate language, and a lot of people died needlessly and global terrorism has increased several fold.
There was no logic in attacking Iraq in 2003.
