The second line of the article really sums it up from my perspective. “President George W. Bush was obsessed with the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and deliberately misled the American people about who was responsible for the 9/11 attack.”

I was curious how the nebulous connection between Iraq and Afghanistan was perceived by those who weren’t as aware of the older Bush’s history in the area. In the hours following 9/11, a common question among my peers was “How will this be twisted into us going into Iraq?”
