Hussein did not realize that while he had nothing to do with the events of September 11, 2001 the Bush Administration saw him as part of a larger metaphysical problem that produced such incidents. That is why he believed according to his debriefing by US and allied officials that a limited strike was inevitable like in the previous decade, but not a full invasion with regime change as the goal.

See this is what I don't get. Saddam for all of his issues was not an Islamo facist. He's a secularist. I'm not sure why invading a Baathist country is in our best interests...It seems like the only thing we did was actually Encourage religious fundamentalism in Iraq...That's why I don't understand the need to go after Saddam or Syria. Yes, Saddam was wrong in the Iraq war, but you would think that after September 11, the US wouldn't be attacking Secular Muslim countries.
