"9/11 pushed the US into a war with Iraq and Afghanistan,"
I disagree. The US was not pushed into those wars; the US chose both those wars. Neither of those nations presented a threat to the US, and Iraq had no links to 9/11 (and Afghanistan's links were laughably circumstantial - some of the planners lived there; let's have a war!) - it was simply a convenient excuse for the US to launch into a badly thought-out war.
- yk 14y ago"Pushed" is indeed a poor choice of wording. But Bush would have had a hard time to get enough political support to invade without 9/11.
