I dont know...

The US was in crisis before September 11th? That's weird, I live in the US, and I didn't hear about it.

The economy was slumping headed to recession. That certainly isn't good news, but it is far from a crisis. The economy is cyclic. It has ups followed by downs and that's just the way it works, so crisis? Not hardly.
How will the US "be better", in the sense of your crisis statement, after an Iraqi war? We won't get their oil unless we buy it. Even if US troops march down the streets of Bhagdad we won't get to keep any of their oil.
Could you provide links to the US threats against Afghanistan prior to September 11th? I don't remember any, and Afghanistan doesn't have any oil, so what would the purpose have been?
As far as Iraq, I remember that being talked about in the Spring, but guess what? Saddam had been in violation of UN sanctions for a decade, so it shouldn't be too surprising. Maybe you should be upset with him for not feeding his people? He's a dictator, so it's his country. [img]smile.gif[/img]
As to the sanctions starving people, see my earlier post.
