Middle Eastern Muslim Fundamentalism has been around for a LONG time too. It was September 11th that brought us back into the Middle East

You really seem to lack a clue.
#1: The US got involved before Pearl Harbor, by supplying Great Britain with food and other supplies (even though the ships were often attacked by German submarines), which is the sole reason that Great Britain managed to hold on for that long.
Had the US not done that, the Germans would have probably managed to break GB, and the war would have gone entirely different.
#2: The only reason Pearl Harbor happened was because everyone knew the US would get involved in the war sooner or later. There had already been several indications that they were starting to get more involved. Pearl Harbor was just an attempt by the Japanese to knock down the US before they could become a real threat, and basically scare them away from the conflicts in the area.
#3: SADDAM WAS NOT A MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALIST. Really, he wasn't. No, I mean it. He actually fought a big fucking war against the theocracy of Iran. The fundamentalist Shia groups in his own country hated him with a passion.
If anything, his fall will help muslim fundamentalism gain a foothold in Iraq.
#4: Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.
#5: It was not 9/11 that brought the US back in the middle east. The US have supported Israel for many years now, they also support Turkey, and remember when the last Gulf War took place?
The US didn't get brought back to the middle east, they never left.
