Uninformed people hearing or reading that statement would either consciously or subconsciously believe Saddam had something to do with 9/11.

Maybe some would...but I do not. 9/11 changed the way the US perceive potential enemies...and Saddam was an enemy of the US. In essence I read the statement as...because of 9/11 we cannot allow governments such as Saddam's was to exist...so that hopefully we can prevent another 9/11. That is a major reason we toppled Saddam and are now trying to establish a Democracy in a muslim nation...a model nation if you will...to hopefully...over a period of time...change the face of would be enemies in the mid east. Will we succeed...time...will determine the end result.
