Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Sadam was a dictator that kept the various religious factions in line. America was just looking for an excuse to go in again. Everyone knew there were no weapons of mass distraction too. The reasons for America going in are complex, but relate to control of the middle east, keeping USA currency top, resources, and money for various groups that benefitted.
I agree wholeheartedly: I don't think it was smart or right. Simply, an administration without an ideological taboo against war reacted to 9/11.
