    Iraq was also a consequence of 9/11. It would never have happened without it.

      Arguable, Iraq was Bush Jr. finishing what his father started in the late 80s. It may well have happened even without 9/11. Afghanistan however was a direct consequence of 9/11, and is a more apt metaphor for what Israel is doing now.

        I think Bush would want to do it, but would never have been able to get the go along without the war fever.
